Oqab Dietrich Induction Inc. manages 8 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed among 7 distinct examiners, showing a high level of examiner diversity for the portfolio size. The workload is spread across 7 distinct art units, which suggests the company's research covers several specialized examination groups. This variety indicates that the 8 pending office actions involve distinct technical challenges within the mechanical sector.
DUCK, BRANDON M is the busiest examiner, holding 2 busiest examiner pending actions. This distribution across 7 distinct art units and 7 distinct examiners indicates that the company's innovations are being evaluated by a wide range of expertise. For the applicant, this means that each matter is receiving independent review from a unique official. The presence of 7 distinct art units further confirms that the prosecution strategy is decentralized across multiple technical departments at the patent office, requiring a versatile approach to the 8 pending office actions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 (12%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (12%) |
| §103 only | 2 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (50%) |
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.
