THINKWARE Corporation has 21 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters are distributed among 19 distinct examiners and 18 distinct art units, indicating broad allocation across technical and examination assignments. The action count slightly exceeds both diversity measures, so some repetition exists without a dominant concentration.
FOXX, CHICO A is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. Those matters may warrant a focused consistency review if their claims or cited references overlap. The broader docket still requires separate examiner and art-unit analysis, particularly for matters assigned outside that examiner’s group.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 only | 1 (5%) |
| §101 + other | 4 (20%) |
| §103 only | 9 (45%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (25%) |
