SUBARU Corporation has 62 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The docket spans 58 examiners and 41 art units, indicating broad distribution and limited repetition at the examiner level.
LYNCH, CARLY W is the busiest examiner, with 3 pending matters. Portfolio controls should therefore emphasize consistent treatment of related transportation technologies while allowing for different examiner and art-unit practices.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 13 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. 13 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 only | 3 (5%) |
| §101 + other | 7 (11%) |
| §103 only | 24 (39%) |
| §102 only | 3 (5%) |
| §112 only | 4 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 21 (34%) |
