Motorola Solutions Inc. has 26 pending office actions in Communications. The matters involve 26 examiners across 24 art units, showing extensive distribution with only limited art-unit repetition.
GODBOLD, DOUGLAS is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The even examiner allocation means that no individual examiner dominates the pending docket, making centralized tracking and repeatable response processes more important than a single relationship.
The twenty-four-art-unit spread reflects varied examination environments. Counsel should maintain consistent technical positions and claim terminology while tailoring prior-art, eligibility, and amendment strategies to the record for each matter.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 (8%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (19%) |
| §103 only | 15 (58%) |
| §102 only | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (12%) |
