Uipath Inc. is currently managing 20 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are spread across 13 distinct art units, reflecting the diverse applications of their automation software. The portfolio involves 17 distinct examiners, which indicates that most applications are being reviewed by different individuals, requiring a highly individualized approach to each file.
Fateh M Obaid is the busiest examiner for Uipath Inc., with 2 pending office actions. This low concentration, where the busiest examiner holds only 2 of the pending office actions, means that the company must manage the distinct examiners separately. The wide distribution across 13 distinct art units further emphasizes the need for a versatile prosecution strategy that can adapt to many different technical requirements and ensure that its automation innovations are consistently protected across the USPTO.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 + other | 7 (35%) |
| §103 only | 7 (35%) |
| §102 only | 3 (15%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (15%) |
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.
