ISUZU MOTORS Limited has 48 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters span 46 examiners and 26 art units, indicating broad distribution across prosecution resources. Most examiner relationships therefore concern a limited part of the docket, while the art-unit footprint shows recurring technical groupings that can support structured review.
KIM, JAMES JAY is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending actions. Those matters form a small coordination cluster within the larger portfolio. Counsel should track them together where useful, but retain separate workflows for the remaining examiner assignments and use art-unit context when evaluating claim issues and response posture.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 9 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. 9 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 | 1 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (6%) |
| §103 only | 9 (19%) |
| §102 only | 8 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 27 (56%) |
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.
