LightLab Imaging Inc. has 10 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters span 10 distinct examiners and 7 distinct art units, indicating broad examiner distribution with some technical-unit recurrence. Portfolio management should therefore combine application-specific analysis with coordination across shared art-unit settings.
AKAR, SERKAN is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The data shows no repeated examiner assignment. Counsel should maintain a consistent overall claim strategy while tailoring each response to the examiner and technical context for that application.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (9%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (9%) |
| §103 only | 5 (45%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (9%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (27%) |
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.
