The Raymond Corporation has 6 pending office actions in the technology area of Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. These 6 actions are assigned to 6 distinct examiners. These matters are spread across 3 distinct art units.
CARDIMINO, CHRISTOPHER RYAN is the busiest examiner for the company, currently handling 1 pending office action. With 6 total pending office actions and 6 distinct examiners, the workload is distributed so that each examiner manages exactly 1 case. The 3 distinct art units involved indicate that the company's innovations in this technology area are being evaluated across 3 different technical classifications. Practitioners must manage 6 different examiners across these 3 art units, requiring a strategy that accounts for the specific requirements of each technical group.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 | 2 (29%) |
| §103 only | 2 (29%) |
| §102 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (29%) |
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.
