Lenovo (United States) Inc. has 530 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The portfolio spans 411 examiners and 150 art units, creating extensive administrative and substantive coordination needs across a large technical filing base.
LINDENBAUM, ALAN LOUIS is the busiest examiner, with 6 pending matters. That assignment warrants targeted monitoring, but it represents a small part of the examiner-distributed record. The art-unit figure shows repeated activity across technical groupings, making consistent claim analysis, shared prior-art review, and art-unit intelligence important complements to examiner-level management.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 82 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. 82 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 | 3 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 29 (6%) |
| §103 only | 228 (45%) |
| §102 only | 44 (9%) |
| §112 only | 12 (2%) |
| Double-patenting only | 5 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (0%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 182 (36%) |
| No statute on record | 3 (1%) |
