Assa Abloy AB has 30 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 28 examiners across 21 art units, indicating broad distribution with some repeated examiner and technical contexts.
HUSSEIN, HASSAN A is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That assignment supports targeted review, but the overall record remains dispersed. Counsel should combine examiner-specific preparation with art-unit tracking for recurring prosecution themes.
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 | 2 (6%) |
| §103 only | 17 (55%) |
| §102 only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (29%) |
