Sumitomo Precision Products Co., Ltd. has 7 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 7 distinct examiners and 6 distinct art units, showing that nearly every action follows a separate examiner path while one technical classification contains more than one matter.
BOBISH, CHRISTOPHER S is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The profile does not show examiner concentration, so counsel can focus on the individual prosecution records and use the art-unit grouping to identify any shared technical concerns. A lightweight portfolio process should be sufficient for the available docket.
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 | 3 (43%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (57%) |
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.
