LY CORPORATION is currently overseeing 23 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This volume of active matters is distributed among 20 distinct examiners. These examiners are located across 11 distinct art units, which indicates that the company's innovations span multiple sub-specialties within its primary technology sector. The high number of 20 distinct examiners relative to the total actions suggests a very decentralized prosecution environment.
ANSARI, AZAM A is identified as the busiest examiner for the portfolio, holding 2 pending office actions. Given that there are 23 pending office actions in total, the workload is spread widely, with most examiners likely handling an individual matter. This distribution requires the company to manage a vast array of examiner procedural preferences and interpretations simultaneously. The involvement of 11 distinct art units further highlights the technical complexity of the portfolio. The fact that the busiest examiner holds only 2 pending actions reinforces the observation that no single official has a dominant influence over the portfolio's current trajectory.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 | 3 (12%) |
| §101 + other | 10 (42%) |
| §103 only | 7 (29%) |
| §102 only | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (12%) |
