Dspace GmbH has 21 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These 21 actions are handled by 21 distinct examiners, meaning no examiner is currently reviewing more than 1 pending application for the company. The portfolio involves 11 distinct art units, showing that the company's software innovations span multiple technical classifications.
Omer Khalid is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. This distribution across 11 art units and 21 examiners suggests a broad technical footprint within the computing sector. With 21 distinct examiners for 21 pending actions, the prosecution environment is decentralized. The 11 distinct art units indicate that the 21 pending matters are being evaluated by a variety of technical specialists, which may lead to diverse examination outcomes across the portfolio, requiring careful coordination to maintain consistency.
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 | 6 (29%) |
| §103 only | 9 (43%) |
| §112 only | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (24%) |
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.
