Wobben Properties GmbH currently manages 8 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These matters are distributed across 6 distinct art units, which suggests a technical scope for their current applications. The involvement of 8 distinct examiners means that every pending case is being reviewed by a different individual, requiring an individualized prosecution strategy for each matter. This diversity requires careful coordination across the portfolio.
The busiest examiner is LEGENDRE, CHRISTOPHER RYAN, who is responsible for 1 of the pending office actions. Because there are the distinct examiners and 6 distinct art units, the applicant must navigate a variety of examiner preferences and departmental standards. This level of examiner diversity across the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector indicates a decentralized prosecution environment. Managing the 8 pending office actions under these conditions requires attention to the specific requirements of each of the art units.
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 + other | 1 (12%) |
| §103 only | 3 (38%) |
| §102 only | 1 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (38%) |
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.
