Huawei Technologies Canada Co. Ltd. manages 5 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are spread across 5 distinct examiners, indicating that each examiner is handling exactly one case. The portfolio is distributed across 4 distinct art units, showing a high degree of technical variety for a small number of actions. This variety suggests that the 5 pending office actions cover diverse aspects of computing technology.
The busiest examiner, YEAMAN, JAMES G, has 1 pending office action. With 5 distinct examiners for only 5 pending office actions, the company experiences a diverse range of examiner perspectives. The 4 distinct art units suggest that the 5 pending office actions involve several different technical niches. This decentralized prosecution strategy across 5 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units minimizes the impact of any single examiner's decision on the overall portfolio of 5 pending office actions. For a practitioner, this distribution indicates that the company's Computing & Software innovations are being evaluated by multiple specialized units within the patent office.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 | 1 (20%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (20%) |
| §103 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (40%) |
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.
