7 pending office actions • 5 art units • 7 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Data Systems Consulting Co. Ltd. has 7 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are distributed across 7 distinct examiners, suggesting a wide variety of technical reviews and potential prosecution styles. This broad distribution means the company must navigate the different preferences and requirements of many individual examiners simultaneously. The variety of examiners involved may lead to different prosecution timelines and outcomes for the pending applications.
The portfolio is active across 5 distinct art units. Xiaoqin Hu is the busiest examiner for the company, though they are only responsible for 1 pending office action. This distribution indicates that the company's pending applications are spread thinly across many different examiners and art units. Such a diverse prosecution landscape requires a robust management strategy to ensure consistency across the 5 distinct art units and multiple examiner interactions. The company faces a complex task in coordinating responses across these multiple patent office sectors.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 (29%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (43%) |
| §103 only | 1 (14%) |
| §112 only | 1 (14%) |
