Meta Platforms Technologies LLC maintains a large portfolio in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area with 228 pending office actions. These matters are distributed across 79 distinct art units, showing a wide range of technical focus. The prosecution involves 203 distinct examiners, requiring coordination with a large number of individuals at the patent office. This high level of fragmentation across 79 distinct art units suggests that the company's semiconductor and optics technologies touch on many different specialized groups.
Motilewa Good Johnson is the busiest examiner for the company, currently managing 4 pending office actions. Despite the total of 228 pending office actions, the workload is decentralized among 203 distinct examiners. This decentralization means that no single examiner has a significant impact on the overall portfolio, but it also presents a challenge in maintaining consistency across many different cases. For a practitioner, the presence of 79 distinct art units means that the company must be prepared for a variety of examination styles and internal office policies. With 228 pending office actions, the portfolio represents a major effort within the semiconductor and optics sectors.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 67 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. 67 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 | 2 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 12 (5%) |
| §103 only | 90 (39%) |
| §102 only | 10 (4%) |
| §112 only | 3 (1%) |
