Shanghai Cambricon Information Technology Co. Ltd. has 6 pending office actions focused in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are spread across 6 distinct examiners, which means every pending matter is currently being reviewed by a different individual. The portfolio involves 5 distinct art units, showing that the company's software innovations are being evaluated across several different technical departments.
SHAWN DOMAN is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. Because the pending office actions are divided among distinct examiners, the prosecution strategy must account for diverse perspectives rather than a centralized examiner relationship. The presence of several art units further confirms that the legal team is navigating multiple examination frameworks simultaneously. This variety in examiners and art units suggests a broad intellectual property footprint within the computing sector.
The company must maintain a flexible approach to address the specific requirements of each unique examiner and technical group involved in the process.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 (17%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (33%) |
| §103 only | 1 (17%) |
| §112 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (17%) |
