Unisoc (Shanghai) Technologies Co., Ltd. manages a substantial volume of 30 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. The prosecution is perfectly distributed with 30 distinct examiners assigned to these actions, meaning every pending matter is being handled by a different individual. This lack of examiner overlap is paired with a wide organizational reach across 16 distinct art units at the USPTO.
MAGLOIRE, VLADIMIR is identified as the busiest examiner despite having only 1 pending office action. This highlights the extreme fragmentation of the portfolio where no examiner has more than a single active case. With 16 distinct art units involved, the portfolio likely covers a diverse range of networking sub-specialties, requiring a prosecution strategy that accounts for unique examiner styles and different art unit cultures. The total absence of examiner overlap means that there are no opportunities to leverage a relationship with a single examiner to influence multiple cases. Practitioners must be prepared for independent sets of negotiations across the various art units involved.
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 + other | 2 (6%) |
| §103 only | 19 (59%) |
| §102 only | 6 (19%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (16%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
