ORACLE INTERNATIONAL Corporation maintains a significant volume of intellectual property with 307 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These 307 pending office actions are spread across 108 distinct art units, demonstrating a broad technical footprint within the software domain. The company interacts with 273 distinct examiners, requiring them to navigate a high number of individual examiner styles and preferences.
ALLEN, NICHOLAS E is the busiest examiner for the company with 3 pending office actions. This represents a very small fraction of the total 307 pending office actions, as the workload is distributed among 273 distinct examiners. The presence of 108 distinct art units suggests that Oracle's Computing & Software portfolio is subject to a wide range of departmental guidelines and technical standards at the USPTO. Practitioners must manage 307 pending office actions while coordinating with 273 distinct examiners across 108 distinct art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 94 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. 94 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 | 44 (14%) |
| §101 + other | 104 (34%) |
| §103 only | 103 (34%) |
| §102 only | 8 (3%) |
| §112 only | 2 (1%) |
| Double-patenting only | 6 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 4 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 35 (11%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (0%) |
