China Mobile Communications Group Co., Ltd. has 45 pending office actions in Networking & Security. Those matters involve 44 distinct examiners and 33 distinct art units, creating a highly distributed prosecution profile. The near alignment between pending matters and examiners indicates that most examination relationships are not repeated within the listed portfolio, while the art-unit distribution adds another layer of coordination.
NEURAUTER JR, GEORGE C is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That concentration is limited relative to the full docket, so examiner-specific planning will have narrow reach. Portfolio management should emphasize centralized tracking of deadlines, consistent technical positions, and identification of recurring issues across the many separate examination assignments.
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 + other | 3 (7%) |
| §103 only | 17 (40%) |
| §102 only | 4 (9%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 19 (44%) |
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.
