27 pending office actions • 10 art units • 21 examiners • 0 of 27 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 37 patents granted in the last 365 days
Tyco Fire Products L.P. has 28 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The portfolio includes 20 distinct examiners and 9 distinct art units, showing broad examiner participation with greater concentration at the art-unit level. Several matters therefore share examiner or art-unit relationships that may support coordinated review.
ONDREJCAK, ANDREW DOMENIC is the busiest examiner, with 4 pending matters. Counsel can use that cluster to identify recurring issues, while portfolio-wide management should account for the many other examiner assignments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 | 2 (7%) |
| §103 only | 9 (33%) |
| §102 only | 1 (4%) |
| §112 only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 13 (48%) |
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.
