McKesson Corporation has 6 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 6 distinct examiners across 6 distinct art units, showing complete dispersion across the available examiner and art-unit assignments.
BLANCHETTE, JOSHUA B is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The data does not identify a recurring examiner concentration, so the practical focus is matter-specific prosecution. Each response should address its own claims, cited art, and assigned technical group.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 2 (33%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (33%) |
