Roku Inc. has 56 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The matters involve 52 distinct examiners across 41 distinct art units, indicating a broad prosecution footprint with limited repetition. Counsel should use centralized systems to track responses and identify recurring issues, while preserving separate analysis for each examiner and art unit.
FLYNN, RANDY A is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending actions. The concentration is limited within the full workload, so examiner-specific coordination should be selective. Art-unit review may reveal useful common themes, but claim amendments and cited-art responses should remain tied to each application’s record.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 8 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. 8 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 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 11 (16%) |
| §103 only | 25 (37%) |
| §102 only | 2 (3%) |
| §112 only | 2 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 11 (16%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 13 (19%) |
| No statute on record | 2 (3%) |
