27 pending office actions • 18 art units • 25 examiners • 0 of 27 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 30 patents granted in the last 365 days
Sram LLC holds a patent portfolio in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The company is currently managing 27 pending office actions. This volume indicates a large pipeline of patent applications undergoing review.
The prosecution of these applications involves 25 distinct examiners. These examiners are located across 18 distinct art units, which demonstrates a broad technical scope within the mechanical and transportation sectors. The presence of these various units shows that the company's innovations are reviewed by many different specialized patent office divisions.
KIM, SHIN H is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 2 busiest examiner pending office actions. Despite the total count of pending actions, the busiest examiner only accounts for 2 of them. This shows that the workload is distributed among the distinct examiners rather than being concentrated.
The use of multiple examiners across many art units implies that the prosecution strategy must account for many different styles. Practitioners should be prepared for a variety of perspectives given the distribution of the active office actions.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 7 (26%) |
| §102 only | 4 (15%) |
| §112 only | 2 (7%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 12 (44%) |
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.
