Rakuten Mobile Inc. has 36 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The matters are spread across 36 examiners and 31 art units, creating a broad examination footprint. ROBINSON, CHRISTOPHER B is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter.
The examiner count matches the pending-action count, so each matter is associated with a distinct examiner in this profile. The art-unit count is also broad, although several matters share art-unit assignments. For prosecution planning, counsel should use matter-level tracking, because examiner-specific history and art-unit practice may vary substantially across the portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 11 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. 11 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 | 2 (6%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (9%) |
| §103 only | 17 (50%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (26%) |
