Canva Pty Ltd. has 7 pending office actions focused in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are spread across 7 distinct examiners, which shows that each pending matter is being handled by a different individual. The portfolio spans 5 distinct art units, reflecting a moderate level of administrative dispersion within the USPTO for these software-related applications.
HUYNH, LINDA TANG is the busiest examiner for the company, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. Because there are 7 pending office actions and 7 distinct examiners, the workload is perfectly distributed with no examiner handling multiple cases. This distribution across 5 distinct art units suggests that while the technology area is consistent, the specific subject matter triggers different internal classifications. Practitioners must manage 7 distinct examiners to resolve the 7 pending office actions currently active. This variety of examiners requires a flexible approach to prosecution arguments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 (25%) |
| §103 only | 3 (38%) |
| §102 only | 1 (12%) |
| §112 only | 1 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (12%) |
