Trimble Inc. manages 10 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 10 actions are distributed among 10 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is responsible for exactly one case. The portfolio is spread across 8 distinct art units, indicating that while the examiners are all different, some are working within the same technical departments. This distribution suggests that the company's innovations in transportation and mechanical systems are being evaluated by a variety of specialized groups.
PHAM, THAI N is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 1 pending office action. Since the total number of pending actions is 10, the workload is perfectly distributed across the 10 examiners. This lack of concentration across 8 art units suggests that the company's research covers a wide variety of specialized fields. Practitioners must manage ten unique examiner relationships and adapt to the specific standards of eight different technical groups to resolve the current pending matters effectively.
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 | 1 (10%) |
| §103 only | 4 (40%) |
| §112 only | 1 (10%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (30%) |
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.
