Lely Patent N.V. has 2 pending office actions in Communications. The matters involve 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, so each listed matter is associated with a separate examination assignment.
KUDO, KEN is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should treat the matters independently while checking that claim terminology and technical explanations remain consistent across the separate examiner and art-unit 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.
