Knorr-Bremse Systeme für Nutzfahrzeuge GmbH has 10 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters span 9 examiners and 7 art units, indicating a distributed docket with some repeated examination assignments.
LUKS, JEREMY AUSTIN handles 2 pending matters, the largest stated examiner concentration. Counsel should coordinate those matters where their records are related while maintaining separate strategies for the other examiner assignments.
The art-unit structure can support portfolio review by grouping matters with potentially similar technical or claim issues. Because the docket remains broadly distributed, response preparation should also track examiner-specific objections and prosecution history.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 | 3 (30%) |
| §103 only | 1 (10%) |
| §102 only | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (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.
