Transportation IP Holdings LLC has 29 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The portfolio spans 28 distinct examiners and 20 distinct art units, indicating extensive distribution across examination assignments. The close action and examiner figures show that repeat examiner relationships are limited, while the art-unit figure provides a more useful basis for organizing related matters.
SMITH, JASON CHRISTOPHER is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That concentration is limited relative to the portfolio, so examiner-specific coordination can address only a small subset. Centralized docket controls and technical grouping should remain the primary management tools, with individual responses tailored to the separate examiner assignments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 11 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. 11 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 11 (41%) |
| §102 only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 13 (48%) |
