The Charles Machine Works Inc. has 6 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The docket spans 6 distinct examiners and 6 distinct art units, so each action has a separate examiner and art-unit assignment in the reported data.
BELLINGER, JASON R is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The current structure favors application-specific prosecution management rather than examiner-level consolidation.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 | 2 (33%) |
| §102 only | 1 (17%) |
| §112 only | 1 (17%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (17%) |
