CNH Industrial N.V. has 64 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters span 53 examiners and 24 art units, reflecting a substantial docket distributed across many examination channels, with repeated activity at both the examiner and art-unit levels.
HARCOURT, BRAD is the busiest examiner, with 3 pending matters. This assignment is a useful focal point for identifying recurring objections and coordinating related responses, but it does not represent the full prosecution profile. The difference between the pending docket, examiner coverage, and art-unit coverage supports structured tracking by technology and examining group, alongside examiner-specific review.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 19 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. 19 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 | 1 (2%) |
| §103 only | 27 (43%) |
| §102 only | 5 (8%) |
| §112 only | 2 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 25 (40%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (2%) |
