Heineken Supply Chain B V has 8 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The docket includes 8 examiners and 5 art units, showing broad examiner distribution within a smaller set of technical examination groups.
CARROLL, JEREMY W is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner dominates the docket, so counsel should coordinate by art unit while tailoring responses to individual examiners.
The repeated art-unit coverage may support shared technical analysis and consistent claim terminology across related matters. Examiner-specific prosecution remains necessary because the applications are distributed among separate examiners.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (11%) |
| §103 only | 3 (33%) |
| §102 only | 1 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (44%) |
