Motorola Mobility LLC has 67 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These actions are distributed across 66 distinct examiners and 55 distinct art units. This indicates an extremely wide distribution of the company's patent applications across the patent office's technical groups, reflecting a highly diverse communications portfolio.
BUI, TOAN D. is the busiest examiner for the company, managing 2 pending office actions. With 66 examiners involved, the vast majority are handling only a single action each. The involvement of 55 distinct art units is particularly notable, as it shows that the company's technology is being reviewed by nearly as many technical groups as there are pending actions. For a practitioner, this means that the prosecution strategy must be highly adaptable to the varying standards and interpretations of dozens of different examiners and art units. The sheer volume of 67 pending office actions, combined with this level of dispersion, suggests a large-scale and technically broad patenting operation.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 23 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. 23 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 | 6 (9%) |
| §101 + other | 18 (26%) |
| §103 only | 27 (39%) |
| §102 only | 3 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 15 (22%) |
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.
