Technology area: Networking & Security
2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 2 patents granted in the last 365 days
Adeia Emerging Technologies Inc. currently has 2 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. These 2 actions are being handled by 2 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is responsible for exactly 1 pending matter. The prosecution is also split across 2 distinct art units, which suggests that the 2 pending applications involve different specialized sub-fields.
WILLIAM J GOODCHILD is identified as the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending office action. Given that there are only 2 pending actions in total, the workload is evenly split between the 2 distinct examiners. This distribution ensures that no single examiner or art unit has a dominant role in the company's current patent prosecution. Practitioners can expect 2 separate tracks of communication, each governed by the specific standards of the 2 different art units involved.
The 1:1 ratio of 2 pending office actions to 2 distinct examiners indicates that there is no overlap in the review process for this portfolio. William J Goodchild and the other examiner will each provide independent feedback based on the requirements of their respective 2 distinct art units. This structure requires practitioners to manage 2 distinct prosecution strategies simultaneously. The limited number of pending actions allows for a highly focused approach to each individual case within the networking sector.
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.
