Puma SE has 17 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The actions involve 12 distinct examiners and 6 distinct art units, showing repeated assignments within the technical units and some recurrence among examiners.
DENKOVIC, HALEY is the busiest examiner, with 4 pending actions. That examiner represents the clearest concentration in the reported portfolio, making consistency across those matters a practical review priority. Counsel should still preserve separate analysis for the other examiner and art-unit assignments, because the docket is not limited to one prosecution path.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 6 (38%) |
| §102 only | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (50%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (6%) |
