Hand Held Products Inc. has 13 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters are assigned to 13 distinct examiners across 12 distinct art units, so examiner assignments are fully separate while one art unit receives more than one matter.
SAVUSDIPHOL, PAULTEP is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should emphasize consistency across individual responses and use the repeated art-unit assignment as a point of comparison when similar examination issues arise.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (8%) |
| §103 only | 6 (46%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (46%) |
