Raven Industries Inc. has 13 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 12 distinct examiners and 9 distinct art units, indicating broad examiner distribution with some concentration at the art-unit level.
HO, ANNA THI is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The repeat assignment may support a focused comparison of those matters, but the broader workload calls for separate examiner-aware prosecution planning and centralized docket control.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 | 1 (8%) |
| §103 only | 8 (67%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (25%) |
