Airoha Technology Corp. maintains 4 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are distributed across 4 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This indicates that each examiner is currently handling exactly one pending matter for the company. The 4 pending office actions represent the current active prosecution footprint for the firm in this specific technology sector.
Casey L Kretzer is identified as the busiest examiner, responsible for 1 pending office action. While the workload is evenly split among the 4 distinct examiners, the presence of 3 distinct art units shows the portfolio spans several specialized groups within the office. This variety of art units for only 4 pending office actions suggests a diverse range of technical claims. Practitioners must navigate 3 distinct art units and 4 distinct examiners to manage these 4 pending office actions effectively.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (75%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
