Dspace GmbH has 23 pending office actions in Computing & Software. The actions are assigned to 23 distinct examiners and 17 distinct art units, showing complete examiner dispersion across a broader set of art-unit assignments.
KHALID, OMER is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No individual examiner accounts for multiple listed actions, so a centralized response template may need adjustment for each examination record. The repeated art-unit assignments may nevertheless justify tracking recurring eligibility, prior-art, and claim-construction issues across related matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 | 7 (32%) |
| §103 only | 7 (32%) |
| §112 only | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (32%) |
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.
