Daimler Truck North America LLC has 5 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are being handled by 5 distinct examiners across 4 distinct art units. The fact that there are 5 distinct examiners for the total pending office actions indicates that no active matters are currently assigned to the same individual, ensuring a broad range of perspectives on the portfolio.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is Elahmadi, Zakaria, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This examiner manages a portion of the active pending office actions currently active for the organization. The distribution across 4 distinct art units suggests a variety of technical focuses within the company's transportation and mechanical filings, requiring coordination across multiple specialized groups. This decentralized structure means that the company must navigate the unique examination trends and preferences of different administrative units simultaneously.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (75%) |
