ZF Active Safety And Electronics US LLC has 3 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, showing that the pending work is distributed across separate examination assignments.
STANLEY, TYLER JAY is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The absence of a concentration above 1 pending action supports monitoring each matter independently. Counsel should align claim amendments and prosecution timing with the specific examiner and art unit handling each action.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
