Citibank, N.A. has 17 pending office actions in Computing & Software. The matters involve 15 distinct examiners and 14 distinct art units, indicating that nearly every examiner and technical-unit assignment is separate within the reported portfolio.
TOKUTA, SHEAN S is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending actions. The limited concentration means centralized docket oversight should be paired with matter-specific examiner analysis. The close relationship between the number of actions, examiners, and art units also suggests limited opportunity to rely on one generalized prosecution approach across all cases.
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 | 4 (24%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (29%) |
| §103 only | 5 (29%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (18%) |
