Mitre Corporation is currently managing 3 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are spread across 3 distinct art units, indicating that the company's software-related filings cover a variety of technical classifications and are subject to 3 different examination standards. This distribution reflects a broad technical scope within the company's current computing and software innovations.
The prosecution involves 3 distinct examiners, with each of the 3 pending office actions assigned to a different individual. BONZO, BRYCE P is identified as the busiest examiner, though they are responsible for only 1 pending office action. This distribution shows that the company's current workload is evenly divided among several examiners and art units, with no 1 person or department dominating the prosecution landscape. For practitioners, this requires a management strategy that can handle 3 separate dialogues with different examiners across 3 different technical areas. The lack of concentration in 1 art unit or under 1 examiner means that the company must be prepared for a diverse range of feedback and requirements within the Computing & Software sector.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
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.
