Uber Technologies Inc. has 33 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 32 distinct examiners and 20 distinct art units. This distribution shows broad examiner coverage and meaningful art-unit concentration, with some units handling multiple matters. The portfolio therefore requires coordination across many examiner relationships while preserving visibility into recurring unit-level practices.
YOUNG, ASHLEY YA-SHEH is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That is a limited portion of the overall workload, so no single examiner dominates the docket. Counsel should use a centralized system for deadlines, amendments, and disclosure positions, while tailoring prosecution decisions to the relevant examiner and art unit.
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 | 5 (15%) |
| §101 + other | 15 (45%) |
| §103 only | 8 (24%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (12%) |
