Toyota Group has 36 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters are distributed among 34 examiners and 25 art units, showing a portfolio with broad examination coverage and limited repetition at the examiner level.
MOK, ALEX W is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That assignment may justify focused coordination, but the overall distribution favors a portfolio process built around individual matter status, art-unit context, and consistent response review.
The close relationship between the number of examiners and pending matters indicates that most matters have distinct examiner relationships. Counsel should therefore avoid assuming that a successful approach in one matter will transfer across the docket without technical and procedural review.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 9 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. 9 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 | 1 (3%) |
| §103 only | 16 (48%) |
| §102 only | 2 (6%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 13 (39%) |
