Coupang Corp. has 8 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 8 examiners across 6 art units, reflecting broad examiner distribution with some art-unit overlap.
CHEN, GEORGE YUNG CHIEH is the busiest examiner with 1 pending matter. A portfolio-level review can preserve consistent treatment of commerce and transportation concepts, but the dispersed examiner assignments call for tailored response strategies and separate prior-art analysis.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 4 (50%) |
| §101 + other | 4 (50%) |
