InterDigital Inc. has 441 pending office actions in Networking & Security. Those matters span 334 examiners and 118 art units, showing that prosecution is distributed across a broad examination footprint rather than centered in a small group of units. The examiner count also indicates that individual examiner relationships cover only part of the overall docket.
MESSMORE, JONATHAN R is the busiest examiner, with 5 pending actions. That concentration is limited relative to the full pending docket, so portfolio management requires a broad tracking system in addition to focused handling of this examiner’s matters. The art-unit spread also supports organizing review by technology and prosecution status, not only by examiner.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 80 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. 80 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 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 15 (3%) |
| §103 only | 221 (51%) |
| §102 only | 35 (8%) |
| §112 only | 16 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 20 (5%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 4 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 110 (25%) |
| No statute on record | 8 (2%) |
