Cape Analytics Inc. has 6 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These are spread across 6 distinct examiners and distinct art units. The portfolio exhibits maximum fragmentation, with the pending office actions distributed across the distinct examiners and distinct art units. This ratio between actions, examiners, and art units indicates that every pending matter is being handled by a unique combination of personnel and technical divisions.
SUMMERS, KIERSTEN V is the busiest examiner but only holds 1 busiest examiner pending action, which is the same volume as every other examiner in the set. This lack of concentration within the Communications technology area means there is no single examiner or art unit trend to follow. Practitioners must manage the independent prosecution strategies, as the data shows no overlap among the distinct examiners currently reviewing the 6 pending office actions.
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.
