Tyco Fire & Security GmbH has 97 pending office actions in Computing & Software. The matters involve 90 distinct examiners and 54 distinct art units, indicating broad examiner dispersion with repeated activity within some technical units. The profile supports a structured process for monitoring both individual examination and recurring subject-matter issues.
BRADFORD, JONATHAN is the busiest examiner, with 3 pending matters. The limited concentration means that no single examiner relationship represents the principal management issue. Counsel should instead use portfolio controls that preserve consistency across many examiner assignments and art-unit contexts.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 13 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. 13 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 | 16 (18%) |
| §103 only | 32 (36%) |
| §102 only | 7 (8%) |
| §112 only | 2 (2%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 28 (31%) |
| No statute on record | 2 (2%) |
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.
