Micro Motion Inc. has 9 pending office actions in Computing & Software. The matters span 5 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, creating meaningful variation in examination assignments within the portfolio. This distribution calls for coordination across units without assuming that a response effective in one assignment will transfer directly to another.
CLARKE, ROBERT A is the busiest examiner, with 5 pending matters. The examiner therefore represents a substantial concentration of the listed workload. Counsel may prioritize review of that examiner’s positions, identify recurring claim or prior-art themes, and use any consistent treatment to inform responses in the remaining matters.
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 + other | 2 (29%) |
| §103 only | 1 (14%) |
| §102 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (43%) |
