Denso Corporation has 256 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The docket covers 228 distinct examiners and 119 distinct art units, reflecting substantial breadth across examination personnel and technical groups. The difference between pending actions and examiner assignments indicates some repeated examiner relationships, while the art-unit count shows wider concentration at the technical-group level.
TURNBAUGH, ASHLEIGH NICOLE is the busiest examiner, with 3 pending matters. That examiner is a useful point for focused review, but does not define the broader docket. Practitioners may benefit from centralized claim and disclosure standards, supported by art-unit segmentation and examiner-specific preparation where recurring assignments justify it.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 60 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. 60 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 | 7 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 31 (12%) |
| §103 only | 98 (39%) |
| §102 only | 17 (7%) |
| §112 only | 7 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (0%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 3 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 85 (34%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (0%) |
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.
