MAZDA MOTOR Corporation has 32 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters span 29 distinct examiners and 18 distinct art units, showing broad examiner dispersion across a defined set of examination groups.
BUTCHER, CAROLINE N is the busiest identified examiner, with 2 pending matters. The limited concentration suggests that the principal management task is coordinating many individual prosecution paths rather than handling one dominant examiner relationship. Counsel may use shared technical guidance and centralized docket controls while tailoring responses to each examination assignment.
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 (3%) |
| §103 only | 11 (35%) |
| §102 only | 3 (10%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 14 (45%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
