Huawei Cloud Computing Technologies Co., Ltd. is managing 76 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are distributed across 50 distinct art units, showing a very wide technical scope for its cloud innovations. The portfolio involves 72 distinct examiners, meaning most applications are being handled by different individuals. This high number of examiners and art units suggests a complex prosecution landscape requiring significant coordination across various USPTO departments.
DANIEL C CHAPPELL is the busiest examiner, overseeing 3 pending office actions. This relatively low concentration for the busiest examiner further emphasizes the decentralized nature of the 76 pending office actions. With 72 distinct examiners involved, the company must prepare for a vast range of examiner behaviors and interpretations. The presence of 50 distinct art units indicates that the portfolio touches on many different sub-sectors within the Computing & Software field, each with its own examination standards.
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 | 4 (5%) |
| §101 + other | 28 (38%) |
| §103 only | 24 (33%) |
| §102 only | 2 (3%) |
| §112 only | 1 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 14 (19%) |
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.
