NAVER Corporation operates in the Computing & Software technology area with 31 pending office actions. These actions are distributed across 30 distinct examiners, showing that nearly every case is handled by a different individual. The prosecution activity spans 17 distinct art units, reflecting the technical variety of the company's filings.
MEYER, JACQUELINE CHRISTINE is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, though she is responsible for only 2 busiest examiner pending actions. This count of 2 actions is low relative to the 31 pending office actions, suggesting that the workload is highly decentralized. Practitioners can expect to interact with a wide variety of examiners.
The distribution across 17 distinct art units confirms that the portfolio's challenges are spread across multiple divisions. This decentralized structure requires a strategy that accounts for many different examiner perspectives and specialized art unit standards. Navigating this broad landscape is a key requirement for managing the company's intellectual property.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 8 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. 8 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 | 1 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 9 (28%) |
| §103 only | 15 (47%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (19%) |
