Accenture Global Solutions Limited is currently overseeing 34 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are spread across 25 distinct art units, which is a high degree of departmental dispersion. This variety of 25 units suggests that the company's software innovations are being examined under many different specialized criteria within the patent office, requiring a strategy that can adapt to numerous technical classifications.
The portfolio involves 34 distinct examiners, matching the total number of 34 pending actions. Dustin D Eyers is the busiest examiner for the company, currently managing 1 pending action. Because there are 34 examiners for 34 actions, no single examiner is handling more than one case. This total lack of concentration means that prosecution strategies must be tailored to 34 different individuals, as even the busiest examiner, Dustin D Eyers, does not provide a point of consolidation for multiple filings. Practitioners should be prepared for a highly fragmented experience where each of the 34 actions is treated as an entirely independent interaction.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 9 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. 9 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 | 2 (7%) |
| §101 + other | 14 (47%) |
| §103 only | 6 (20%) |
| §102 only | 1 (3%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (20%) |
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.
