Royal Bank of Canada has 54 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. Those matters are distributed across 52 distinct examiners and 32 distinct art units, indicating that prosecution activity spans a broad set of examination assignments rather than a single concentrated technical channel.
PATEL, NEHA is the busiest identified examiner, with 2 pending matters. The limited concentration at that examiner, together with the larger examiner and art-unit coverage, suggests that portfolio management will depend on coordinated tracking across multiple prosecution paths. Counsel may benefit from consistent claim strategy, response procedures, and issue coding across the affected applications.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 23 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. 23 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 | 13 (24%) |
| §101 + other | 26 (48%) |
| §103 only | 12 (22%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (2%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (2%) |
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.
