Rakuten Symphony Inc. manages a patent portfolio with 36 pending office actions, primarily situated in the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are distributed among 34 distinct examiners, which indicates that the company's applications are being reviewed by many individual patent officials. The prosecution activity spans 28 distinct art units, showing that the portfolio covers a variety of technical specializations within its primary field.
The busiest examiner for the company is DASCOMB, JACOB D, who is currently handling 2 pending office actions. This figure is small relative to the 36 total pending actions, showing that the workload is decentralized across the 34 distinct examiners. The presence of 28 distinct art units suggests that the company must navigate different examination standards and technical groups. Practitioners should note that the 36 pending office actions are spread across 34 distinct examiners, with most officials overseeing a limited number of cases. This distribution requires managing interactions with a variety of examiners and art unit standards.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 13 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. 13 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 | 8 (22%) |
| §103 only | 20 (56%) |
| §112 only | 2 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (14%) |
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.
