Vestas Wind Systems A/S has 34 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters span 26 distinct examiners and 16 distinct art units, showing broad examiner coverage across a smaller set of examination groups.
GOLIK, ARTHUR PAUL is the busiest identified examiner, with 5 pending matters. This examiner provides a practical focal point for review, but the broader distribution requires portfolio-level coordination. Counsel may organize recurring claim and technical issues by art unit while adapting prosecution arguments to the separate examiner assignments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (10%) |
| §103 only | 6 (20%) |
| §102 only | 1 (3%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 18 (60%) |
