Continental AG has 128 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are handled by 116 distinct examiners, suggesting that most examiners are managing only one or two matters for the company. The portfolio is active across 53 distinct art units, reflecting a wide technical range within the transportation sector.
The busiest examiner, LAGUARDA, GONZALO, is currently overseeing 3 busiest examiner pending actions. This is a low concentration relative to the 128 total pending office actions, indicating that the prosecution workload is widely dispersed. With 116 distinct examiners involved, Continental AG's patent prosecution involves a broad spectrum of examiner interactions across 53 distinct art units. Practitioners must manage a vast array of individual examiner relationships, as the ratio of examiners to actions is high. This decentralized profile suggests that the company's innovations are reviewed by a significant portion of the patent office's technical staff, requiring a versatile prosecution strategy for the 128 pending office actions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 36 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. 36 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 only | 2 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 33 (26%) |
| §103 only | 34 (27%) |
| §102 only | 3 (2%) |
| §112 only | 3 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 51 (40%) |
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.
