Technology area: Computing & Software
146 pending office actions • 60 art units • 130 examiners • 57 of 146 (39%) have an AI response strategy ready • 482 patents granted in the last 365 days
SAP SE maintains a large portfolio with 144 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are distributed among 128 distinct examiners and 63 distinct art units. The high number of art units reflects a broad technical scope across various software and computing classifications, requiring a wide-reaching prosecution strategy.
Tuan A Vu is the busiest examiner for SAP SE, currently managing 3 pending office actions. Despite Vu's role, the workload is highly decentralized, as 128 distinct examiners are involved in the 144 pending actions. This suggests that most examiners are handling only one or two matters, requiring coordination across a vast array of USPTO personnel.
The presence of 63 distinct art units for 144 pending office actions highlights the complexity and breadth of SAP SE's innovation. With 128 distinct examiners involved, the company must navigate a wide array of examination styles and technical interpretations. Although Tuan A Vu is the busiest with 3 pending office actions, this represents only a small portion of the total 144 actions, reinforcing the decentralized nature of the portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 48 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. 48 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 | 51 (35%) |
| §103 only | 56 (38%) |
| §102 only | 2 (1%) |
| §112 only | 2 (1%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 17 (12%) |
