248 pending office actions • 131 art units • 222 examiners • 0 of 248 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 214 patents granted in the last 365 days
Fujitsu Limited has 249 pending office actions in Computing & Software. These matters involve 222 distinct examiners and 131 distinct art units, showing a wide examination footprint across the portfolio. The examiner count exceeds the art-unit count, which indicates repeated examiner activity within at least some units.
DIVITO, WALTER J is the busiest listed examiner, with 3 pending matters. That examiner represents only a limited part of the active docket, so a portfolio-level workflow should emphasize distributed monitoring rather than a single-examiner relationship. Art-unit segmentation can help organize recurring technology and prosecution issues.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 50 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. 50 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 | 23 (9%) |
| §101 + other | 92 (37%) |
| §103 only | 50 (20%) |
| §102 only | 20 (8%) |
| §112 only | 9 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 51 (21%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (0%) |
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.
