44 pending office actions • 13 art units • 30 examiners • 0 of 44 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 58 patents granted in the last 365 days
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 17 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. 17 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 | 2 (5%) |
| §103 only | 17 (39%) |
| §102 only | 1 (2%) |
| §112 only | 2 (5%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 19 (43%) |
