Woven By Toyota Inc. demonstrates an active patent prosecution strategy within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The portfolio currently contains 18 pending office actions, which are distributed across 15 distinct art units. This number of art units suggests that the company's innovations span a variety of technical sub-specialties within its primary field. The prosecution workload is handled by 18 distinct examiners, indicating that each pending office action is being reviewed by a different individual.
Among these, the busiest examiner is ROSARIO, DENNIS, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. The fact that the busiest examiner only handles 1 pending action despite a total of 18 actions highlights a decentralized examiner assignment pattern. For practitioners, this distribution means that prosecution outcomes are not concentrated under any 1 examiner's discretion. Instead, the company must navigate the varied preferences and standards of 18 different examiners simultaneously. This level of diversity across 15 art units requires a versatile approach to responding to office actions. The data shows that the company's intellectual property is being evaluated by a wide array of patent office personnel.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 (6%) |
| §101 + other | 4 (24%) |
| §103 only | 7 (41%) |
| §102 only | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (24%) |
