KPN Innovations LLC is currently navigating 47 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are spread across 38 distinct examiners and 24 distinct art units. The number of 38 distinct examiners relative to 47 pending office actions indicates that the portfolio is distributed widely. This distribution requires the applicant to manage a diverse set of examiner interactions across 24 distinct art units.
HIEP VAN NGUYEN is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently overseeing 3 pending office actions. While HIEP VAN NGUYEN has the highest individual count, these 3 actions represent a small portion of the 47 pending office actions. The involvement of 24 distinct art units suggests that the technology being patented is multifaceted within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector. Prosecution teams must account for the varied procedural expectations of 38 distinct examiners to effectively resolve the 47 pending office actions currently on the docket.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 28 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. 28 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 | 17 (38%) |
| §101 + other | 20 (44%) |
| §103 only | 7 (16%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (2%) |
