Landmark Graphics Corporation has 6 pending office actions in Computing & Software. The matters involve 6 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units, indicating broad examiner distribution with some art-unit concentration. This structure calls for disciplined portfolio management, including matter-level claim analysis, coordinated terminology, and review for recurring examination issues across the software record.
HUYNH, PHUONG is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The examiner handles one portion of the record, while the remaining matters are distributed among other examiners and art units. Counsel should treat the HUYNH matter independently and use portfolio coordination to identify consistent positions without assuming that one response will fit every examination setting.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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 (17%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (50%) |
| §103 only | 2 (33%) |
