19 pending office actions • 14 art units • 17 examiners • 0 of 19 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 47 patents granted in the last 365 days
Apogee 5G Global LLC manages a portfolio with 15 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. The prosecution is highly distributed, involving 14 distinct examiners across 12 distinct art units. This wide dispersion suggests a broad technological scope or a strategy that involves multiple concurrent filings across different specialized groups within the patent office. The high number of 15 pending actions indicates a significant level of active engagement with examiners.
KANG, SUK JIN is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, holding 2 pending office actions. This examiner is the only individual with multiple pending matters among the 14 distinct examiners involved. The high number of 12 distinct art units requires the company to manage various procedural nuances and examination standards across a large section of the Networking & Security field. This diversity in examiners and 12 distinct art units means the company must adapt to many different individual and departmental perspectives while pursuing its pending actions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 14 (74%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (26%) |
