MEDIT Corp. has 26 pending office actions in Communications. The docket involves 24 distinct examiners and 21 distinct art units, showing substantial distribution across examination personnel and technical groupings. The smaller difference between examiner and art-unit counts indicates that the profile is dispersed at both levels, while some art units contain more than one examiner assignment.
SHIMELES, BEZAWIT NOLAWI is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That is the largest examiner concentration in the profile, but the overall docket remains spread across many other examination relationships. Counsel should use art-unit groupings to coordinate recurring technical positions, while keeping examiner-specific response histories for the numerous individual assignments. Centralized tracking is especially useful for identifying inconsistent claim amendments or repeated disclosure issues across related communications matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 + other | 11 (42%) |
| §103 only | 11 (42%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (15%) |
