ARM Limited has 98 pending office actions in Computing & Software. The portfolio spans 87 distinct examiners and 56 distinct art units, reflecting broad prosecution activity across the technology area. The pending-matter count exceeds both assignment counts, indicating repeated examiner and art-unit relationships that can support coordinated review.
HUISMAN, DAVID J is the busiest examiner, with 3 pending matters. Counsel should give that group focused attention while maintaining centralized processes for claim strategy, disclosure consistency, response tracking, and coordination across the many remaining assignments.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 4 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 16 (16%) |
| §103 only | 36 (37%) |
| §102 only | 4 (4%) |
| §112 only | 3 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 35 (36%) |
