13 pending office actions • 5 art units • 12 examiners • 0 of 13 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 47 patents granted in the last 365 days
Wing Aviation LLC manages 13 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are located within 4 distinct art units. The company works with 12 distinct examiners. The use of 12 distinct examiners across only 4 art units suggests that multiple examiners are often working within the same technical groups at the patent office.
MACEEH ANWARI is the busiest examiner, currently responsible for 2 pending actions. This accounts for 2 of the 13 total pending office actions. With 12 distinct examiners involved, the company must manage many individual examiner relationships. For a practitioner, the fact that 13 pending office actions are spread across 12 distinct examiners means that there is very little examiner overlap, even though the work is concentrated in just 4 distinct art units. This requires a prosecution strategy that accounts for the diverse perspectives of many different examiners.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (8%) |
| §103 only | 4 (31%) |
| §102 only | 2 (15%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (38%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (8%) |
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.
