Hitachi Industrial Equipment Systems Co., Ltd. has 20 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The docket spans 19 distinct examiners and 12 distinct art units, indicating broad examiner coverage with some matters sharing an art-unit setting.
JARIWALA, CHIRAG is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The limited concentration suggests that most prosecution decisions must be tailored at the matter level. Practitioners can use the art-unit grouping to compare related examination contexts while preserving examiner-specific response planning.
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 | 2 (11%) |
| §103 only | 7 (39%) |
| §102 only | 4 (22%) |
| §112 only | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (22%) |
