12 pending office actions • 7 art units • 9 examiners • 0 of 12 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 33 patents granted in the last 365 days
Ocient Holdings LLC operates within the Computing & Software technology area and currently manages 14 pending office actions. These actions are distributed among 10 distinct examiners, reflecting a portfolio with multiple active points of contact at the patent office. The presence of 7 distinct art units further illustrates the breadth of the company's technical filings within the computing sector.
The distribution of 14 pending office actions across 10 distinct examiners suggests that while some examiners handle multiple cases, the majority of the workload is spread out. This diversity in examiners and 7 distinct art units requires a prosecution strategy that can adapt to different standards and interpretations. This indicates that the company's success is not overly dependent on the decisions of a single examiner.
SOMERS, MARC S is identified as the busiest examiner for Ocient Holdings LLC, with 2 pending office actions under their review. While this examiner holds the highest individual count, the 2 pending office actions represent a small portion of the total workload. This confirms that the company's prosecution risk is well-diversified across the many distinct examiners involved.
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 | 1 (8%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (42%) |
| §103 only | 3 (25%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (8%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (8%) |
