Sz Dji Technology Co., Ltd. has 28 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 28 examiners across 23 art units, demonstrating extensive examiner dispersion with some technical-group overlap.
PAIGE, TYLER D is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Since no examiner has a larger reported concentration, portfolio management should prioritize consistent internal processes while preserving application-specific responses across the assigned art units.
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 | 4 (15%) |
| §103 only | 11 (41%) |
| §102 only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (37%) |
