Technology area: Computing & Software
5 pending office actions • 3 art units • 5 examiners • 0 of 5 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 10 patents granted in the last 365 days
Mitac Computing Technology Corporation has 5 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are handled by 5 distinct examiners, meaning each pending case is being reviewed by a different individual. This distribution ensures that no single examiner has a majority influence over the portfolio's current progress. The company's active prosecution is spread across a diverse group of reviewers within the patent office.
The 5 pending office actions are concentrated within 3 distinct art units. This suggests that while the examiners are all different, they are working within a relatively small number of administrative groups. THOMAS J CLEARY is identified as the busiest examiner, currently managing 1 pending office action. This confirms that the workload is evenly split among the 5 distinct examiners, with each handling exactly 1 of the pending office actions. No single examiner manages more than 1 case.
For practitioners, the concentration in 3 distinct art units is a key factor. With 5 pending office actions spread across only 3 units, there is an opportunity to identify and apply art unit-specific trends across different examiners. The strategy should focus on navigating the standards of these 3 units while managing the 5 unique examiner relationships within the Computing & Software sector. This approach allows for some administrative consistency despite the diversity of individual examiners.
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 (20%) |
| §103 only | 2 (40%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (40%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
