Samsung SDS Co., Ltd. manages a portfolio in the Computing & Software technology area with 30 pending office actions. These 30 pending office actions are distributed across 17 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that the company's filings are reviewed by multiple specialized groups. The prosecution involves 30 distinct examiners, matching the total number of pending actions.
YEN, SYLING is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently overseeing 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This 1 busiest examiner pending office action is a small part of the total workload. The number of 30 distinct examiners is higher than the 17 distinct art units, which means some art units have multiple examiners assigned to the company's cases. The Computing & Software technology area is the primary focus for these matters.
Practitioners should observe that YEN, SYLING manages a single pending action despite being the busiest examiner. This suggests an even distribution of cases among the 30 distinct examiners. With 17 distinct art units involved, the company's intellectual property strategy is spread across several technical niches within the patent office.
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 | 3 (10%) |
| §101 + other | 11 (35%) |
| §103 only | 10 (32%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (19%) |
