Skydio Inc. has 27 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 24 distinct examiners and 17 distinct art units, indicating a distributed docket with some repeated examiner and art-unit assignments.
ARTIMEZ, DANA FERREN is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. Counsel can compare those matters for consistency, while the wider docket requires tailored responses across its other examination assignments. Art-unit tracking may help organize related technical issues.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 | 3 (11%) |
| §103 only | 13 (46%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (36%) |
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.
