7 pending office actions • 5 art units • 6 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 20 patents granted in the last 365 days
Faurecia Clarion Electronics Co., Ltd. has 7 pending office actions in Computing & Software. The matters involve 6 distinct examiners across 5 distinct art units, indicating broad distribution with some repeated examination-group activity. The docket therefore benefits from centralized control but not from a uniform examiner-focused approach.
NGUYEN, CAO H is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The two matters assigned to Nguyen warrant coordinated review for consistent claim construction and response strategy. Other matters should remain in separate workstreams because they involve different examiner and art-unit assignments.
Art-unit review may reveal shared procedural or technical concerns, but counsel should connect each argument to the specific record before the assigned examiner.
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 + other | 1 (14%) |
| §103 only | 4 (57%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (29%) |
