Honor Device Co., Ltd. currently has 73 pending office actions within the Communications technology area. These actions are handled by 70 distinct examiners, which is a smaller number than the total 73 pending office actions. The portfolio is distributed across 37 distinct art units, suggesting a very wide range of technical focuses. DANG, HUNG Q is the busiest examiner, currently overseeing 3 pending office actions.
The 70 distinct examiners involved indicate that most examiners are responsible for only a single case for the company. This wide distribution across 37 distinct art units requires the company to manage diverse procedural requirements within Communications. DANG, HUNG Q, with 3 pending office actions, holds a slightly higher workload than the other distinct examiners. Practitioners should monitor the 73 pending office actions for consistency across the 37 distinct art units.
The 37 distinct art units represent a significant variety of technical examination standards that the company must meet. With 73 pending office actions, the volume of work is spread across many different technical groups. Understanding the specific preferences of DANG, HUNG Q is important for the 3 pending office actions they manage, as they are the busiest examiner in this portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 16 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. 16 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 | 3 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 6 (8%) |
| §103 only | 26 (37%) |
| §102 only | 4 (6%) |
| §112 only | 3 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 28 (39%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
