436 pending office actions • 113 art units • 335 examiners • 0 of 436 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 466 patents granted in the last 365 days
InterDigital Inc. manages a large portfolio in the Networking & Security technology area, with 455 pending office actions. These cases are distributed among 346 distinct examiners, indicating a wide range of individual perspectives at the patent office. The involvement of 102 distinct art units further demonstrates the technical breadth of the portfolio, as the 455 pending actions are spread across many specialized groups. VAN, JENKEY is the busiest examiner, currently handling 5 pending office actions.
While VAN, JENKEY has the highest individual workload, her 5 pending actions are only a small part of the 455 total pending actions. The fact that 346 distinct examiners are involved means that the company must manage a high volume of unique examiner interactions. The 102 distinct art units suggest that the company's networking innovations are being reviewed by a wide variety of technical experts. This massive distribution across 346 distinct examiners and 102 distinct art units requires a robust and scalable prosecution strategy to maintain consistency across the 455 pending matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 88 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. 88 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 | 5 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 13 (3%) |
| §103 only | 222 (51%) |
| §102 only | 33 (8%) |
| §112 only | 17 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 23 (5%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 6 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 110 (25%) |
| No statute on record | 7 (2%) |
