JTEKT Corporation has 17 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters are assigned to 17 distinct examiners and 14 distinct art units, showing broad examiner distribution across a relatively focused set of examination groups.
TO, TOAN C is the busiest identified examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner concentration is shown in the available profile. Counsel may therefore rely on centralized docket oversight and common technical guidance, while preparing each response for the particular examiner and art-unit context in which the application is being examined.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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 (6%) |
| §103 only | 6 (33%) |
| §102 only | 4 (22%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (39%) |
