33 pending office actions • 19 art units • 31 examiners • 7 of 33 (21%) have an AI response strategy ready • 31 patents granted in the last 365 days
Fidelity Information Services LLC has 33 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed among 32 distinct examiners, showing that almost every pending matter is handled by a different individual. This activity is spread across 19 distinct art units, indicating a diverse range of technical subjects within the portfolio. The high ratio of examiners to pending actions suggests a very broad distribution of work.
LENIN PAULINO is the busiest examiner for this company, with 2 pending office actions. This represents a small fraction of the 33 total pending office actions, further illustrating the lack of concentration in the portfolio's prosecution. With the distinct examiners involved, the company must manage a wide variety of examination styles and art unit cultures. The 19 distinct art units involved suggest that the company's technology spans multiple sub-sectors of the e-commerce and mechanical systems landscape.
The busiest examiner pending count of 2 is the only instance of an examiner handling more than a single case, as there are the distinct examiners for the pending office actions. This means that for the vast majority of the pending actions, the company is dealing with a unique examiner. Such a spread requires a highly adaptable prosecution strategy that can respond to the individual tendencies of a large and varied group of patent office personnel.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 10 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. 10 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 | 8 (24%) |
| §101 + other | 14 (42%) |
| §103 only | 9 (27%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (6%) |
