Hitachi Industrial Products Ltd. currently manages 6 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed across 6 distinct examiners. The workload spans 2 distinct art units, suggesting a focus within specific technical classifications. The company's patent strategy involves multiple examiners even within a limited number of art units.
CAMERON A CORDAY is identified as the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently handling 1 pending action. This workload represents the maximum assigned to any individual examiner for the company. The presence of distinct examiners for each pending action shows that prosecution efforts are spread across various USPTO staff members. This distribution means that no individual examiner has an outsized influence on the total cases. Practitioners should note that the art units indicate a concentration of technical subject matter despite the variety of examiners involved. Each of the pending office actions is handled by a different examiner, which ensures that the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering portfolio is reviewed by a diverse group.
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 only | 1 (17%) |
| §103 only | 1 (17%) |
| §102 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (50%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
