ASUSTeK Computer Inc. has 55 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The matters span 52 examiners and 40 art units, indicating extensive distribution across the examination structure.
MCDANIEL, TYNESE V is the busiest examiner, with 3 pending matters. That limited concentration is one manageable cluster within a broadly dispersed docket, so portfolio controls should emphasize consistent tracking and issue classification rather than dependence on one examiner relationship.
Art-unit-specific review can help organize technical work, while centralized oversight can identify recurring prosecution themes across the examiner assignments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 12 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. 12 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 + other | 1 (2%) |
| §103 only | 26 (53%) |
| §102 only | 6 (12%) |
| §112 only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 13 (27%) |
| 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.
