Snbr Inc. has 35 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The docket spans 29 distinct examiners and 13 distinct art units, indicating broad examiner distribution and repeated activity within the technical units.
KURILLA, ERIC J is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The small examiner concentration means that portfolio controls should address many separate examination relationships. Art-unit tracking can provide a useful structure for identifying recurring technical issues and coordinating related claim strategies.
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 | 11 (32%) |
| §103 only | 9 (26%) |
| §102 only | 2 (6%) |
| §112 only | 2 (6%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (24%) |
