8 pending office actions • 3 art units • 7 examiners • 0 of 8 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
LG Management Development Institute Co. Ltd. currently manages 8 pending office actions within the Computing & Software technology area. These matters are assigned to 7 distinct examiners. This distribution indicates that most of the 8 pending actions are handled by different individuals, with one examiner managing multiple cases. This distribution suggests that the company's software innovations are being reviewed by a broad group of examiners, each bringing their own perspective to the prosecution process.
The company's prosecution is concentrated in 3 distinct art units. With 8 pending office actions, this high level of concentration in 3 units suggests that the company's software innovations frequently encounter the same specialized examination groups. This focus within 3 art units can influence the consistency of the prosecution process. The ratio of 8 actions to 3 art units indicates that the company's technology is technically concentrated, allowing for a more specialized and potentially consistent dialogue with the patent office.
XIAOMAO DING is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently handling 2 pending office actions. This workload of 2 actions is the highest among the 7 distinct examiners. The management of 8 pending actions across 3 art units reflects the company's focused engagement with the patent office for its computing technologies. This structure requires the company to maintain a strategic approach to prosecution across a small number of specialized art units while managing its active applications.
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 (12%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (38%) |
| §103 only | 2 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (25%) |
