HTC Corporation has 32 pending office actions in Communications. The matters span 31 distinct examiners and 28 distinct art units, indicating a widely distributed prosecution workload across both individual examiners and technical groups. The near one-to-one relationship between pending matters and examiners means that most matters have separate examiner relationships, while the lower art-unit count reflects some grouping at the technical-unit level.
ELAHI, TOWFIQ is the busiest examiner with 2 pending matters. That is a small concentration within the overall workload, leaving the portfolio dependent on many separate examination interactions. HTC’s prosecution team may therefore need standardized communication and issue tracking across matters, supplemented by examiner-specific preparation where claim construction or amendment strategy depends on local practice.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 | 2 (6%) |
| §101 + other | 4 (12%) |
| §103 only | 15 (47%) |
| §102 only | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (31%) |
