Rambus Inc. has 26 pending office actions in Computing & Software. The matters involve 24 distinct examiners and 16 distinct art units, indicating a broad examination footprint with some repeated examiner and art-unit assignments.
LEBOEUF, JEROME LARRY is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. Those matters provide a practical basis for comparing examiner treatment, while the remaining docket requires coordination across several examination settings. Counsel should track recurring software claim issues without assuming that one response approach will apply throughout the portfolio.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (4%) |
| §103 only | 7 (27%) |
| §102 only | 4 (15%) |
| §112 only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 12 (46%) |
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.
