Hyundai Mobis Co., Ltd. has 115 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The docket spans 109 distinct examiners and 64 distinct art units, reflecting extensive distribution across examination personnel and technical classifications.
NGUYEN, LILLIAN T is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. Most pending cases are assigned to other examiners, so the portfolio requires broad operational coordination rather than reliance on a single examiner relationship. Counsel should track recurring transportation issues centrally while tailoring claim amendments and arguments to each art-unit setting.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 14 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. 14 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 + other | 1 (1%) |
| §103 only | 48 (45%) |
| §102 only | 9 (8%) |
| §112 only | 4 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 43 (41%) |
