15 pending office actions • 7 clients • 14 examiners • 11 art units • 0 of 15 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
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 | 5 (33%) |
| §103 only | 5 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (33%) |
