Watlow Electric Manufacturing Company has 10 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters span 9 examiners and 6 art units, showing a broadly distributed prosecution portfolio with some shared technical-unit coverage.
SKRZYCKI, JONATHAN MICHAEL is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. This is the only examiner-level concentration identified in the profile, while the remaining matters are distributed across other examiners. Counsel should therefore combine portfolio-level issue tracking with examiner-specific response planning.
The six art-unit assignments provide a basis for identifying recurring technical treatment, but they do not eliminate the need to account for different examiner positions. Claim amendments and argument choices should be reviewed both within the relevant unit and against the examiner handling each matter.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 (11%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (11%) |
| §103 only | 3 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (44%) |
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.
