Välinge Innovation AB has 19 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 17 distinct examiners across 10 distinct art units, showing that the portfolio is broadly distributed across technical and examination assignments. The close relationship between the pending-action and examiner figures indicates that most matters are not grouped under a common examiner.
FORD, GISELE D is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The limited examiner concentration means that portfolio-level claim consistency may be useful, but responses will likely need to address a range of examiner practices and art-unit contexts.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 7 (37%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (5%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (53%) |
