Rivian Ip Holdings LLC has 70 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 68 examiners and 47 art units, reflecting wide distribution across both prosecution personnel and technical classifications.
KESSIE, DANIEL is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That limited concentration means the portfolio cannot be managed principally through one examiner relationship. The art-unit figure nevertheless indicates recurring technical contexts, supporting centralized review of art-unit trends while preserving matter-specific response analysis.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 16 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. 16 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 | 3 (4%) |
| §103 only | 26 (37%) |
| §102 only | 6 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 36 (51%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
