Autoliv Development AB has 28 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The docket covers 23 distinct examiners and 11 distinct art units, showing broad examiner distribution and repeated activity across examination units.
KECK, DANIEL M is the busiest listed examiner, with 3 pending matters. The assignment is recurring but does not define the entire docket. Art-unit organization can support consistency across related matters, while separate examiner records remain important for response strategy.
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.

|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (7%) |
| §103 only | 5 (17%) |
| §102 only | 1 (3%) |
| §112 only | 3 (10%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (3%) |
