8 pending office actions • 4 art units • 8 examiners • 0 of 8 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 2 patents granted in the last 365 days
Matterport Inc. has 8 pending office actions within the Communications technology area. These actions are distributed across 8 distinct examiners, meaning each pending case is under the review of a different individual. The portfolio is active in 4 distinct art units, suggesting a relatively concentrated technical focus despite the variety of examiners assigned to the cases.
WILSON, NICHOLAS R is the busiest examiner, currently handling 1 pending office action. With 8 distinct examiners involved in 8 pending actions, no single official has an outsized influence on the portfolio. Practitioners should be prepared to navigate 4 different art units while managing the individual preferences of eight separate examiners. This decentralized approach means that the success of the 8 pending office actions depends on eight unique interactions within the patent office.
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 + other | 1 (12%) |
| §103 only | 1 (12%) |
| §112 only | 1 (12%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (38%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
