Kuka Systems GmbH has 4 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 4 examiners and 3 art units, showing examiner-by-examiner distribution with some art-unit overlap.
HANNAN, B M M is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner holds more than that recorded share, so prosecution management should emphasize application-level tracking. The repeated art-unit presence may still make it useful to compare claim treatment and response timing across related assignments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
