Chongqing Konka Photoelectric Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd. has 5 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This suggests that the company's active computing portfolio is relatively broad, involving multiple technical reviewers and administrative groups. The presence of 3 distinct art units indicates that the applications may cover different sub-domains within the computing and software sector, requiring a more varied prosecution strategy.
The busiest examiner, STCLAIR, ANDREW D, is responsible for 3 pending office actions. This examiner handles a majority of the 5 total pending actions, indicating a significant concentration of the workload under a single individual despite the involvement of 3 distinct examiners. The busiest examiner pending count of 3 highlights that this specific official's decisions will have a disproportionate impact on the overall success of the company's current prosecution efforts. Practitioners should prioritize understanding this examiner's specific requirements given their high level of influence over the current portfolio.
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.
