Alipay.com Co., Ltd. currently has 1 pending office action in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This 1 action is being handled by 1 distinct examiner, WARDEN, MICHAEL J. As the only examiner currently active for this portfolio, WARDEN, MICHAEL J is responsible for the pending office action, representing the total volume of the company's pending workload.
The prosecution is confined to 1 distinct art unit, suggesting a technical focus for the company's current patenting activity. With only pending office actions and an individual examiner, the portfolio lacks the internal diversity needed to compare different examination approaches. The busiest examiner, WARDEN, MICHAEL J, manages the only data point available for assessing current examiner interaction. This profile indicates a concentrated engagement with the USPTO at this time. Practitioners should closely monitor the specific requirements of the distinct art unit, as it currently governs the entirety of the company's pending patent applications. The examiner assignment suggests that the company's current strategy is specialized and does not yet span multiple technical classifications.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 21 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. 21 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 | 5 (8%) |
| §101 + other | 18 (30%) |
| §103 only | 20 (33%) |
| §102 only | 3 (5%) |
| §112 only | 3 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (17%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (2%) |
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.
