Welch Allyn Inc. has 30 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The docket involves 30 distinct examiners and 16 distinct art units, showing a separate examiner assignment for each listed matter alongside recurring art-unit settings. This structure supports art-unit level issue tracking but limits the reach of examiner-specific tactics.
DUNWOODY, AARON M is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner concentration is present in the listed data. Counsel should prioritize centralized deadline control, compare recurring issues within the art units, and tailor claim arguments to each examiner’s record.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 11 (39%) |
| §103 only | 11 (39%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (14%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (4%) |
