Textron Inc. has 61 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 56 examiners across 40 art units, indicating broad distribution with some repeated examiner and technical assignments. The art-unit footprint supports grouping related matters while preserving examiner-specific analysis.
WEISFELD, MATTHIAS S is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending actions. Those matters provide a limited opportunity for coordinated review within the larger docket. Effective management should pair that focused examiner treatment with separate tracking for the other assignments and technical groups.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 15 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. 15 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 | 6 (10%) |
| §103 only | 26 (44%) |
| §102 only | 4 (7%) |
| §112 only | 2 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 20 (34%) |
