Sim Ip Hxr LLC is active in the Communications technology area with 24 pending office actions. These actions are assigned to 18 distinct art units, showing that the company's communications research is categorized into several specialized groups. The presence of 18 distinct art units for 24 pending office actions indicates that some technical groups handle more than one matter for the company.
The portfolio is handled by 21 distinct examiners, which is close to the total of 24 pending office actions. WANG, JACK K is the busiest examiner for the company, currently managing 2 pending office actions. This indicates that most of the 24 pending office actions are assigned to unique individuals. With 21 distinct examiners, the company must manage a variety of examination styles within the Communications area.
The fact that the busiest examiner, WANG, JACK K, handles 2 pending office actions means there is little concentration of workload. Practitioners must coordinate across 18 distinct art units while addressing the specific examination styles of 21 different examiners. The data shows that the 24 pending office actions are distributed such that no single examiner has a dominant influence over the portfolio's current outcomes.
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 | 1 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 4 (17%) |
| §103 only | 8 (33%) |
| §102 only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 5 (21%) |
