Amazon Technologies Inc. maintains a significant presence in the Computing & Software technology area with 143 pending office actions. These matters are spread across 137 distinct examiners, which represents a high degree of examiner diversity. The portfolio also reaches into 74 distinct art units, reflecting the technical scope of the company's computing and software innovations.
SHAH, PARAS D is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently overseeing 3 pending office actions. This figure of 3 is small compared to the total 143 pending office actions, indicating that no single examiner holds a large portion of the company's active cases. The 137 distinct examiners suggest that the company must navigate a wide variety of individual examination styles and preferences.
The 74 distinct art units involved in these 143 pending office actions show that the portfolio is distributed across many specialized divisions. This distribution requires a prosecution strategy that accounts for the different internal cultures and trends across 74 separate art units within the USPTO. The 137 distinct examiners ensure that the company's applications receive a broad range of individual reviews.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 47 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. 47 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 | 10 (7%) |
| §101 + other | 28 (21%) |
| §103 only | 56 (41%) |
| §102 only | 6 (4%) |
| §112 only | 5 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 6 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 5 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 19 (14%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (1%) |
