Ab Initio Technology LLC manages a company patent portfolio in the Computing & Software technology area, currently featuring 6 pending office actions. These actions are distributed among 6 distinct examiners, which means that each examiner is responsible for exactly one matter. The prosecution is spread across 4 distinct art units, indicating a moderate level of technical diversity within the company's software-related filings.
EYERS, DUSTIN D is identified as the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Since each of the 6 distinct examiners is handling a single action, the workload is perfectly balanced across the group. This distribution suggests that no single examiner's tendencies will dominate the overall outcome of the portfolio's current pending matters.
Practitioners should be prepared to navigate 6 different examination styles across 4 distinct art units. While the portfolio is relatively small with 6 pending office actions, the lack of examiner overlap means that strategies must be tailored to each individual case. The presence of 4 distinct art units further suggests that the company's computing and software innovations span several different technical classifications at the patent office, requiring a decentralized approach to prosecution.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 |
