Yanmar Holdings Co., Ltd. has 65 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The portfolio spans 61 examiners and 31 art units, reflecting substantial examiner dispersion with repeated activity across art units.
PRICE, MITCHELL JAMES is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The concentration is limited within the docket, so counsel should treat it as a focused coordination opportunity while using broader art-unit and matter-level controls for the remaining work.
A centralized issue database can help identify common prosecution themes, but responses should remain tailored to the individual examination record and assigned examiner.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 15 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. 15 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 | 9 (15%) |
| §103 only | 18 (29%) |
| §102 only | 5 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 30 (48%) |
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.
