Legalon Technologies Inc. currently manages 8 pending office actions within the Computing & Software technology area. This portfolio is distributed across 8 distinct examiners and 7 distinct art units, indicating a broad spread of examination across the patent office. The high ratio of distinct art units to pending actions suggests that the company's innovations touch upon several specialized technical classifications within the software domain. This diversity requires a prosecution strategy that can navigate the specific requirements of many different technical groups simultaneously.
The prosecution workload is highly decentralized, as evidenced by the fact that different examiners are handling the pending actions. MENG, JAU SHYA is identified as the busiest examiner for this portfolio, yet this individual is responsible for only 1 pending office action. This distribution means no single examiner holds significant influence over the current pending portfolio, requiring the legal team to adapt to the specific preferences and styles of the different individuals across the 7 art units. The lack of concentration in any single art unit or under any single examiner suggests that the company's patent filings are technically varied and subject to a wide range of examiner perspectives.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 | 1 (14%) |
| §101 + other | 4 (57%) |
| §103 only | 2 (29%) |
