Weatherford Technology Holdings LLC has 12 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. These matters are distributed among 11 distinct examiners and 8 distinct art units. The examiner distribution is broad, while the art-unit distribution indicates that some technical groupings contain more than one pending matter.
LAMBE, PATRICK F is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending actions. Counsel can use examiner-specific preparation for that assignment while maintaining art-unit tracking across the rest of the portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 (8%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (15%) |
| §103 only | 5 (38%) |
| §112 only | 1 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (31%) |
