Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. has 36 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The docket involves 36 distinct examiners and 31 distinct art units, indicating that each pending matter has a separate examiner assignment while several technical groupings recur. That combination favors technical organization without assuming repeated examiner treatment.
ELAHI, TOWFIQ is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner concentration is shown. Counsel may therefore prioritize consistent portfolio standards, art-unit tracking, and application-specific analysis of claim scope and examination issues.
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 | 2 (5%) |
| §103 only | 17 (46%) |
| §102 only | 3 (8%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 14 (38%) |
