Husqvarna AB maintains a substantial portfolio with 28 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed across 28 distinct examiners, meaning that every single pending matter is being reviewed by a different individual. These examiners are spread across 15 distinct art units, indicating a broad and diverse technical reach within the mechanical engineering field.
The busiest examiner for the company is BUKHARI, AQEEL H, who is currently handling 1 pending office action. Because there are 28 pending office actions and 28 distinct examiners, the workload is perfectly distributed with no examiner overlap. This requires the company to manage 28 separate examiner relationships simultaneously across 15 distinct art units. This level of distribution suggests a wide-ranging set of innovations that do not cluster under a single examiner's review.
For practitioners, the presence of 15 distinct art units for 28 pending office actions highlights the complexity of the portfolio. Each unit may have different internal cultures and standards, requiring a versatile prosecution strategy to navigate the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector effectively. The 28 distinct examiners ensure that the portfolio's progress is not dependent on any single individual.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 15 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. 15 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 | 12 (40%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 16 (53%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (3%) |
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.
