9 pending office actions • 4 art units • 9 examiners • 0 of 9 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 15 patents granted in the last 365 days
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (11%) |
| §103 only | 3 (33%) |
| §102 only | 1 (11%) |
| §112 only | 1 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (33%) |
