MaxLinear Inc. has 28 pending office actions in Computing & Software. Each matter is assigned to a distinct examiner, while the docket spans 21 distinct art units. The examiner dispersion calls for application-specific prosecution management, and the repeated art-unit assignments support technical grouping and issue tracking.
VO, TIM T is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The profile does not show examiner concentration, so counsel should coordinate recurring art-unit issues without treating any single examiner's approach as representative of the docket.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 9 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. 9 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 + other | 3 (11%) |
| §103 only | 13 (48%) |
| §102 only | 2 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (33%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
