Technology area: Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems
91 pending office actions • 33 art units • 85 examiners • 32 of 91 (35%) have an AI response strategy ready • 230 patents granted in the last 365 days
Waymo LLC currently manages a substantial volume of 95 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This large portfolio is distributed across 33 distinct art units, reflecting the broad technical scope of autonomous vehicle systems. The involvement of 88 distinct examiners indicates a highly decentralized prosecution environment where individual examiner tendencies will significantly influence overall portfolio outcomes and timelines.
Rami Khatib serves as the busiest examiner for Waymo, though he is responsible for only 2 pending office actions. This minimal concentration, where the busiest examiner handles just 2 of the pending actions, highlights the extreme fragmentation of the portfolio. With 88 distinct examiners involved, the legal team must navigate a wide array of perspectives across the 33 distinct art units to secure patent rights, requiring a strategy that accounts for the diverse examination standards found in each specialized unit.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 27 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. 27 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 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 11 (12%) |
| §103 only | 44 (48%) |
| §102 only | 2 (2%) |
| Double-patenting only | 7 (8%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 22 (24%) |
| No statute on record | 2 (2%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
