Technology area: Computing & Software
147 pending office actions • 64 art units • 132 examiners • 53 of 147 (36%) have an AI response strategy ready • 486 patents granted in the last 365 days
SAP SE has 139 pending office actions in Computing & Software. The portfolio reaches 125 distinct examiners and 63 distinct art units, indicating extensive examiner dispersion alongside a more concentrated distribution among technical groups. This structure can produce repeated technology issues across different examiner practices while still requiring careful assignment-level analysis.
VU, TUAN A is the busiest examiner, with 3 pending matters. The busiest-examiner figure is small relative to the overall workload, so the data does not point to one dominant examiner relationship. Prosecution management should emphasize consistent claim and disclosure positions across matters, supported by separate preparation for the many examiner assignments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 43 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. 43 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 | 15 (10%) |
| §101 + other | 57 (39%) |
| §103 only | 50 (34%) |
| §102 only | 3 (2%) |
| §112 only | 3 (2%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 16 (11%) |
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.
