McLaren Automotive Limited has 6 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The docket spans 6 examiners and 6 art units, giving each pending matter a distinct examination setting.
CHEN, DANIEL GUANG-DIAN is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner concentration is shown, so portfolio oversight should emphasize application-specific responses while maintaining coherent treatment of related mechanical and transportation concepts.
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 (20%) |
| §103 only | 3 (60%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (20%) |
