Carvana LLC is currently navigating 6 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The portfolio shows a direct ratio between actions and examiners, with distinct examiners assigned to each of the active cases. This distribution suggests that prosecution strategies must be tailored to the individual preferences of a broad group of officials rather than focusing on a single point of contact. Practitioners should prepare for varied feedback across these 6 distinct examiners, as no examiner overlap exists to provide a consistent baseline for response strategies.
The technical breadth of the portfolio is reflected in the 6 distinct art units involved in current proceedings. Because each examiner is only handling a single case, WU, CHONG is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. This lack of examiner concentration across the pending office actions means practitioners cannot rely on consistent feedback from a single art unit or examiner. The alignment of distinct specialized groups with the active applications indicates that every matter is being treated as a unique technical entity within the USPTO, requiring a highly individualized approach.
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 | 1 (17%) |
| §103 only | 2 (33%) |
| §102 only | 1 (17%) |
