Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has 527 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The docket reaches 442 distinct examiners and 177 distinct art units, reflecting extensive examiner distribution and repeated activity within some art units. The scale supports centralized portfolio oversight while preserving technical and examiner-specific review.
HOLBROOK, MIA KEILANI is the busiest examiner, with 4 pending matters. That examiner handles only a limited segment of the overall docket, so the principal management challenge is coordination across many examination relationships. Art-unit tracking can help identify recurring technical issues even where individual examiner assignments differ.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 125 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. 125 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 | 15 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 69 (13%) |
| §103 only | 187 (36%) |
| §102 only | 41 (8%) |
