T Mobile Usa Inc. currently has 1 pending office action within the Communications technology area. This matter is assigned to a distinct art unit and a distinct examiner, indicating a highly concentrated prosecution environment. LEE, JAI M is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently handling 1 pending action.
The concentration of the entire pending portfolio under a single examiner and art unit simplifies the prosecution strategy for the company. There are no competing examiner perspectives to navigate within the current set of active filings, as the pending action is the only matter requiring attention. Practitioners can focus their efforts on the specific requirements of the art unit and the individual preferences of LEE, JAI M. This focused ratio of actions to examiners ensures that the company's communications-related intellectual property is subject to a single review process. The company's strategy is thus tied to the findings of LEE, JAI M.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 59 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. 59 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.
