LENOVO GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY (UNITED STATES) INC. is managing 10 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These actions are distributed among 10 distinct examiners and 9 distinct art units. This high number of 9 distinct art units relative to the 10 pending office actions suggests a very broad technical range within the communications field. The involvement of so many art units indicates that almost every pending matter is being reviewed by a different specialized group within the patent office.
Wesner Sajous is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently responsible for 1 pending office action. Because there are 10 distinct examiners for 10 pending office actions, every matter is being reviewed by a different individual. This decentralized prosecution environment ensures that the company's innovations are evaluated by a wide variety of specialized groups and examiners. This structure provides a broad range of examiner perspectives across the entire portfolio. With the current volume of pending office actions, the company's prosecution strategy is characterized by a high degree of diversification across both examiners and art units. This decentralized approach ensures that the company's communications innovations are evaluated by a wide range of specialized groups and examiners.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.

|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (10%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (30%) |
| §103 only | 1 (10%) |
