Ani Acquisition Sub LLC currently faces 3 pending office actions distributed across the Networking & Security technology area. The prosecution of these matters involves 3 distinct examiners, showing a lack of examiner overlap in the current portfolio. Furthermore, the company is active in 3 distinct art units, which reflects a diverse range of technical sub-specialties within this sector. This ratio between actions, examiners, and art units indicates that each filing is being treated as a unique technical challenge.
The busiest examiner identified in the data is MASUR, PAUL H, who is assigned 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This figure indicates that the workload is evenly spread among the assigned examiners, as the total of 3 pending office actions matches the count of 3 distinct examiners. For the patent practitioner, this means there is no primary point of contact to influence the broader portfolio. Each of the Networking & Security distinct art units will likely apply different examination guidelines, requiring a tailored approach for every pending action.

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. 3 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.
