Cariad SE is currently navigating 13 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. Each of these 13 actions is assigned to a different person, as there are 13 distinct examiners involved. This ratio between actions and examiners indicates a decentralized prosecution experience where no two pending matters share the same reviewer.
The portfolio is also spread across 12 distinct art units, which is nearly equal to the number of pending office actions. This wide distribution suggests that the company's innovations touch upon a broad spectrum of technical categories within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector. Managing 12 different art units requires a versatile legal strategy to address varying examination standards.
GOEBEL, EMMA ROSE is the busiest examiner for Cariad SE, though she only has 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because every examiner, including the busiest, only handles one case, the portfolio's progress is fragmented. The outcome of the 13 pending office actions will be determined by independent evaluations across the 12 distinct art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 | 4 (33%) |
| §103 only | 6 (50%) |
| §112 only | 1 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (8%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
