Hyundai WIA Corporation is managing 7 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed among 7 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is currently responsible for a pending matter. MASINICK, JONATHAN PETER is the busiest examiner, though he only holds 1 pending office action.
The pending office actions are spread across 4 distinct art units. This distribution shows that while the examiners are diverse, the technical focus is relatively concentrated within a few specialized groups. Because there are 7 distinct examiners for the actions, the company faces a variety of individual examiner styles. The busiest examiner, MASINICK, JONATHAN PETER, has the same number of actions as other examiners, as each handles 1 of the total pending actions.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (14%) |
| §102 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (57%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (14%) |
