American Axle & Manufacturing Inc. has 4 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters are assigned to 4 examiners across 3 art units, creating distinct examiner relationships with some art-unit repetition.
MOK, ALEX W is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The examiner distribution favors separate response planning, while the three-art-unit structure may support comparison of procedural treatment.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 4 (80%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (20%) |
