Quectel Wireless Solutions Co., Ltd. currently manages 19 pending office actions within the Communications technology area. These 19 actions are distributed across 17 distinct examiners, which suggests a high degree of individual examiner variety relative to the total volume of pending matters. The 10 distinct art units involved indicate that the company's intellectual property spans several specialized examination groups, requiring a strategy that accounts for different procedural nuances within the patent office.
Among the active personnel, Sams, Matthew C is identified as the busiest examiner, currently overseeing 2 of the pending office actions. This specific concentration of 2 actions with one individual contrasts with the broader distribution across the 17 distinct examiners assigned to the portfolio. For a practitioner, the presence of 19 pending office actions across 10 distinct art units necessitates a versatile approach to prosecution, as each unit may apply different interpretations of Communications guidelines.
The fact that 17 distinct examiners are handling 19 pending office actions implies that most examiners are only managing a single case for this entity. This lack of examiner overlap, with the exception of Sams, Matthew C and his 2 pending actions, means that institutional knowledge gained from one prosecution may not frequently carry over to others. Consequently, the 19 pending office actions represent a landscape where individual examiner preferences will likely dictate the pace and outcome of the majority of the applications.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 | 9 (47%) |
| §102 only | 1 (5%) |
| §112 only | 1 (5%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (37%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
