Analysis

ResMed has 11 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. Those matters are distributed among 10 examiners and 7 art units, indicating that the portfolio reaches multiple examination groups rather than a single prosecution channel.

TIEDEMAN, JASON S is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending actions. The remaining matters are therefore spread across other examiner assignments, so docket management should combine portfolio-level tracking with matter-specific review.

The examiner and art-unit distribution creates a need for consistent claim strategy, while still allowing responses to account for differing examination contexts. The 2 matters before the busiest examiner warrant particular scheduling attention, but the broader workload requires coordination across all identified assignments.
