Alarm.com Incorporated has 19 pending office actions in Communications. The matters are handled by 18 examiners across 15 art units, indicating broad examiner dispersion and several technical examination paths.
ITSKOVICH, MIKHAIL is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. Because the concentration is limited, counsel should emphasize application-level response preparation and use art-unit tracking to identify any recurring issues across the broader docket.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 | 4 (24%) |
| §103 only | 7 (41%) |
| §102 only | 1 (6%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (24%) |
