Xiaomi Ev Technology Co. Ltd. has 8 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are handled by 8 distinct examiners across 7 distinct art units. DUNNE, KENNETH MICHAEL is the busiest examiner, managing 1 pending office action.
The distribution of 8 pending office actions among 8 distinct examiners indicates that no single examiner is managing multiple cases for the company. This lack of overlap means that prosecution strategies must be independently managed for each of the matters. With 7 distinct art units involved, the portfolio shows significant technical variety within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector, requiring the company to navigate the specific procedural nuances of many different sections.
DUNNE, KENNETH MICHAEL is responsible for 1 pending office action, which is a small portion of the company's total pending workload. Because the pending office actions are divided among 8 distinct examiners, the company's overall success is not overly dependent on any one individual. However, the presence of 7 distinct art units suggests that the company's filings are broad enough to trigger review by a wide range of specialized groups.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 + other | 1 (12%) |
| §103 only | 1 (12%) |
| §102 only | 2 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (50%) |
