Mastercard Technologies Canada Ulc has 10 pending office actions in Computing & Software. The docket involves 10 distinct examiners and 9 distinct art units, showing broad examiner dispersion and nearly equivalent art-unit coverage.
LE, CANH is the busiest examiner and handles 1 pending matter. No single examiner dominates the docket, so portfolio management should emphasize repeatable processes, consistent claim-position tracking, and matter-specific response planning.
The difference between examiner and art-unit coverage indicates that at least one technical grouping includes more than one examiner assignment. Counsel may use art-unit themes for technical coordination, but the distribution supports independent review of each examiner’s objections and cited references.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 2 (20%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (20%) |
| §103 only | 2 (20%) |
| §102 only | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (30%) |
