SambaNova Systems Inc. has 19 pending office actions in Computing & Software. The portfolio involves 16 examiners across 9 art units, indicating repeated art-unit activity and a broader distribution of examiner assignments.
HASSAN, AURANGZEB is the busiest examiner, with 3 pending matters. Counsel can use that cluster for coordinated examiner review, while applying consistent technical and claim practices across the other assignments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 (5%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (26%) |
| §103 only | 5 (26%) |
| §112 only | 2 (11%) |
| Double-patenting only | 3 (16%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (11%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (5%) |
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.
