C3.ai Inc. has 23 pending office actions in Computing & Software. The portfolio spans 21 distinct examiners and 16 distinct art units, creating broad distribution across both examination personnel and technical units.
IQBAL, MUSTAFA is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The repeated assignment permits coordination for those matters, while the wider portfolio calls for centralized docket oversight and consistent treatment of recurring software issues.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 (17%) |
| §101 + other | 13 (57%) |
| §103 only | 3 (13%) |
| §102 only | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (9%) |
