Leica Geosystems AG has 15 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The portfolio involves 12 distinct examiners and 8 distinct art units, showing substantial distribution with additional concentration at both examiner and art unit levels. Multiple active matters are therefore likely to share an examiner or examination unit, creating opportunities for consistent prosecution treatment.
GENTILE, ALEXANDER VINCENT is the busiest examiner, with 4 pending matters. This examiner is a significant coordination point within the portfolio. Counsel can examine recurring objections and claim approaches across those matters, while preserving technical distinctions among the applications assigned elsewhere.
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 | 2 (14%) |
| §103 only | 3 (21%) |
| §102 only | 1 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (57%) |
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.
