Magna Electronics Inc. has 24 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 24 distinct examiners and 17 distinct art units, showing wide examiner distribution and some concentration at the art-unit level. Each examiner is associated with one pending matter in the available profile, while several matters are handled within the same art units.
KERRIGAN, MICHAEL V is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Because examiner assignments are broadly dispersed, counsel may need a standardized portfolio process for disclosure review, response calendars, and technical positions, supplemented by art-unit-specific preparation.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 (4%) |
| §103 only | 15 (60%) |
| §102 only | 1 (4%) |
| §112 only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (24%) |
