Sintokogio Ltd. has 23 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 23 examiners and 20 art units, showing extensive examiner dispersion and a somewhat narrower art-unit distribution.
BEARD, CHARLES LLOYD is the listed busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The supplied data does not identify a repeated examiner concentration, so the portfolio’s principal management challenge is coordination across many separate examination relationships.
The difference between examiner and art-unit coverage indicates that some art units contain more than one matter, even though each listed examiner is associated with a single pending action. Those shared art-unit settings can provide useful context for recurring mechanical or device-related issues.
A centralized prosecution map can preserve consistency in terminology, claim scope, and technical explanations. Each response should nevertheless be tailored to its examiner, because the portfolio does not show a substantial cluster before one examiner whose approach could govern the rest.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 | 1 (5%) |
| §103 only | 10 (48%) |
| §102 only | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (43%) |
