Sintokogio Ltd. maintains a prosecution profile with 21 pending office actions. These matters are primarily located within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The workload is distributed among 21 distinct examiners. This distribution indicates that different pending matters are being reviewed by different individuals at the USPTO.
The portfolio spans 15 distinct art units, reflecting a technological footprint within the mechanical engineering and medical device sectors. Despite the volume of activity, the busiest examiner is HORTON, ANDREW ALAN, who is handling 1 pending office action. This confirms that the active matters are spread across the examiners, with no individual examiner dominating the company's USPTO interactions.
This level of diversification across 15 art units and the distinct examiners suggests that Sintokogio Ltd. faces an array of examination styles and requirements. Practitioners must manage the separate examiner relationships, as even the busiest examiner, HORTON, ANDREW ALAN, only accounts for 1 of the pending matters. The breadth of the art units further emphasizes the variety of the company's mechanical and medical patenting efforts.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 | 2 (10%) |
| §103 only | 10 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (40%) |
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.
