Phison Electronics Corp. has 9 pending office actions in Computing & Software. The matters are distributed across 9 distinct examiners and 8 distinct art units, indicating broad examiner assignment with limited reuse of technical groups.
YANG, JEFFREY ANDREW is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should prioritize consistency in claim terminology and technical explanations across the portfolio, while relying on application-specific analysis for each examiner and art-unit record.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 5 (62%) |
| §102 only | 1 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (25%) |
