58 pending office actions • 29 art units • 50 examiners • 0 of 58 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 73 patents granted in the last 365 days
Allstate Insurance Company maintains 57 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed among 49 distinct examiners. The portfolio spans 28 distinct art units, reflecting a wide variety of technical subject matter within the e-commerce and transportation sectors. The presence of 28 distinct art units suggests that the company's patenting efforts are being reviewed by a broad cross section of the patent office's specialized groups across the 57 pending office actions.
The busiest examiner is NGUYEN, TIEN C, who is managing 4 pending office actions. While NGUYEN, TIEN C has the highest individual count, the 57 actions are largely spread across 49 distinct examiners. This means the company must manage 49 separate examiner relationships. The high count of 28 distinct art units indicates that the company's innovations are technically diverse, requiring a prosecution strategy that can adapt to many different examination styles. Having 4 pending office actions with NGUYEN, TIEN C represents the most significant concentration of work with any single examiner.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 19 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. 19 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.
