Oshkosh Corporation has 99 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 81 distinct examiners and 49 distinct art units, indicating a broad examiner footprint across a smaller group of technology units.
KEENAN, JAMES W is the busiest listed examiner, with 5 pending actions. That cluster warrants examiner-specific attention, while the remaining docket is distributed across many other relationships. Counsel may combine art-unit-level coordination with matter-specific review for the KEENAN assignments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 21 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. 21 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 | 10 (11%) |
| §103 only | 31 (33%) |
| §102 only | 3 (3%) |
| §112 only | 2 (2%) |
| Double-patenting only | 4 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 3 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 41 (44%) |
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.
