Rakuten Symphony Inc. has 30 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The docket spans 28 distinct examiners and 22 distinct art units, showing broad distribution across both examiner and technical-unit assignments. The lower examiner count relative to pending actions indicates that some examiners handle multiple matters, while the art-unit count shows further grouping within the technology area.
DASCOMB, JACOB D is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That examiner has a small multi-matter cluster, but most of the docket remains distributed elsewhere. Counsel should combine centralized portfolio tracking with examiner-specific preparation, especially where related matters fall within the same art unit.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 12 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. 12 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 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 7 (23%) |
| §103 only | 16 (53%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (17%) |
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.
