Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development L.P. manages a large company patent portfolio in the Networking & Security technology area. The portfolio features 97 pending office actions. These actions are handled by 94 distinct examiners, reflecting a broad distribution of work across the patent office. The 97 pending office actions are remarkably diverse, spanning 67 distinct art units. HALM, KWEKU WILLIAM is the busiest examiner, though he only holds 2 pending actions.
This high number of 67 art units relative to the pending actions indicates that the company's networking and security innovations are highly varied. With 94 distinct examiners involved, the company must navigate a vast array of examiner personalities and art unit cultures. The fact that the busiest examiner has only 2 pending actions underscores the lack of examiner concentration in this portfolio. Practitioners should prepare for a wide range of examiner interactions across the 67 distinct art units. This decentralized structure requires a highly adaptable prosecution strategy to address the diverse requirements of the identified technical groups.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 27 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. 27 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 | 4 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 9 (9%) |
| §103 only | 49 (51%) |
| §102 only | 7 (7%) |
| §112 only | 1 (1%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 25 (26%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
