Scania CV AB has 17 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are spread across 14 distinct art units, showing that the company's technology is evaluated by many different specialized groups. The 17 pending office actions represent the current scale of the company's efforts to secure patent rights.
The prosecution involves 17 distinct examiners, meaning that each pending matter is assigned to a different individual. MUSTAFA, IMRAN K is the busiest examiner, though this individual is only responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending actions. This 1 busiest examiner pending actions is the same volume as the actions handled by every other examiner in the group.
Because the 17 pending office actions are distributed among 14 distinct art units, the company faces a variety of procedural styles. The 17 distinct examiners ensure that no individual has a disproportionate impact on the portfolio. MUSTAFA, IMRAN K and the other examiners within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area provide a decentralized examination process for Scania CV AB.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 (6%) |
| §103 only | 9 (56%) |
| §102 only | 2 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (25%) |
