Weidmüller Interface GmbH & Co. KG has 9 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The workload spans 8 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units. The examiner count is higher than the art-unit count, showing that at least one unit includes matters assigned to multiple examiners.
PATEL, HARSHAD C is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The remaining matters are distributed among other examiner assignments, so the portfolio combines a modest point of examiner continuity with broader multi-unit prosecution activity.
The art-unit distribution can help organize docket review, while the examiner assignments remain relevant for response preparation and interview planning. The data does not show whether related applications share claim issues or prosecution history.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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 | 1 (10%) |
| §112 only | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (80%) |
