Technology area: Networking & Security
503 pending office actions • 112 art units • 348 examiners • 30 of 503 (6%) have an AI response strategy ready • 757 patents granted in the last 365 days
Beijing Xiaomi Mobile Software Co., Ltd. has 505 pending office actions in Networking & Security. Those matters are distributed across 346 distinct examiners and 110 distinct art units, indicating that prosecution activity spans many examination assignments rather than a narrow examiner group. The spread across art units also suggests that portfolio management requires coordination across multiple technical classifications.
HAN, CLEMENCE S is the busiest examiner, with 5 pending matters. That figure is small relative to the broader pending-action volume, so the portfolio does not appear concentrated around one examiner. Counsel may benefit from examiner-specific preparation for the identified cluster while maintaining broader tracking by art unit and technology issue.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 84 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. 84 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 | 2 (0%) |
| §101 + other | 26 (5%) |
| §103 only | 190 (38%) |
| §102 only | 63 (13%) |
| §112 only | 14 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 207 (41%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (0%) |
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.
