Yaskawa Electric Corporation has 17 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The portfolio spans 16 distinct examiners and 13 distinct art units, showing broad examiner distribution with some repeated art-unit involvement. The matter count is only slightly higher than the examiner count, so most examiner relationships concern one pending matter.
KRUG, RANDELL J is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. Counsel should maintain a coordinated portfolio view while preserving examiner-specific strategies for the assignments spread across 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 (6%) |
| §103 only | 7 (41%) |
| §102 only | 2 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (41%) |
