Adeia Media Holdings Inc. has a portfolio in the Communications technology area featuring 8 pending office actions. These actions are spread across 6 distinct examiners, which indicates a mix of concentrated and distributed workloads. The prosecution is active in 5 distinct art units, reflecting the technical scope within the sector.
The busiest examiner, NGUYEN, DUSTIN, is currently handling 3 busiest examiner pending actions. This means that while there are multiple examiners in total, NGUYEN, DUSTIN manages a portion of the 8 pending office actions. The remaining actions are distributed among the other 5 distinct examiners, requiring the practitioner to manage multiple examiner relationships simultaneously.
The involvement of 5 distinct art units indicates that the portfolio faces different examination standards. With the current workload, the legal team must balance the 3 busiest examiner pending actions with the needs of the other units. This distribution across 6 distinct examiners requires a coordinated effort to ensure consistency in prosecution across the Communications technology area.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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.
