Guerbet has 8 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The portfolio spans 8 distinct examiners and 7 distinct art units, indicating that the pending matters are distributed across multiple examination assignments rather than concentrated in one art unit.
STRANSKY, KATRINA MARIE is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should therefore track several examiner and art-unit channels while giving individual attention to each pending prosecution path.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (25%) |
| §112 only | 2 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (50%) |
