7 pending office actions • 6 art units • 7 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 4 patents granted in the last 365 days
DataRobot Inc. is actively managing 7 pending office actions within the Computing & Software technology area. The prosecution is highly distributed, with 7 distinct examiners each handling a single case. This one-to-one ratio between actions and examiners indicates that the company's patent applications are being reviewed by a diverse group of individuals at the patent office. Furthermore, the portfolio spans 6 distinct art units, suggesting that the software innovations are being categorized into several different specialized technical classifications.
The busiest examiner, PYO, MONICA M, is responsible for 1 pending office action, which reflects the even distribution across the 7 distinct examiners. With 7 pending office actions in total, the company faces a variety of examination perspectives. The high number of 6 distinct art units relative to the total number of actions implies that each application may be facing a unique set of technical challenges. Practitioners should be prepared to address a wide range of software-related patent issues across these 6 different art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 | 1 (14%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (29%) |
| §103 only | 2 (29%) |
| §112 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (14%) |
