Fujitsu Limited maintains 244 pending office actions, primarily within the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are spread across 82 distinct art units, showing a wide-ranging interest in various software and computing technologies. The company interacts with 221 distinct examiners, which suggests that the vast majority of examiners are handling only one pending matter for the firm.
Walter J. Divito is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently overseeing 3 pending office actions. With 221 distinct examiners involved, the prosecution environment is highly diverse, requiring strategies that can adapt to many different examiner styles. The distribution across 82 distinct art units further emphasizes the breadth of the company's current technical filings. This large volume of 244 pending actions requires a highly coordinated effort to manage the high number of individual examiner relationships.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 51 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. 51 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 | 24 (10%) |
| §101 + other | 84 (34%) |
| §103 only | 49 (20%) |
| §102 only | 18 (7%) |
| §112 only | 9 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 3 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 61 (24%) |
| 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.
