Google LLC has 841 pending office actions in Communications. The portfolio spans 725 examiners and 270 art units, indicating very broad examination coverage and a substantial need for structured prosecution operations.
ADESANYA, OLUJIMI A is the busiest examiner, with 4 pending matters. The limited concentration around that examiner means portfolio-wide analytics, art-unit monitoring, and consistent internal response practices are likely more useful than relying on a single examiner strategy.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 185 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. 185 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 | 25 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 155 (19%) |
| §103 only | 337 (41%) |
| §102 only | 38 (5%) |
| §112 only | 10 (1%) |
