Apogee Networks LLC manages a company patent portfolio in the Networking & Security technology area. The portfolio currently contains 56 pending office actions. These 56 pending office actions are distributed across 49 distinct examiners, which suggests that the workload is spread widely among the patent office staff. Furthermore, the prosecution involves 19 distinct art units, indicating that the applications cover a broad range of technical subjects within the networking field.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is YOUNG, STEVE R, who is responsible for 3 busiest examiner pending office actions. This count of 3 is the busiest workload assigned to any individual examiner for this company. With 49 distinct examiners and 19 distinct art units, the prosecution strategy requires managing various perspectives and requirements. Practitioners should monitor the 56 pending office actions to ensure consistent arguments are maintained across the 19 distinct art units. This high volume of 56 pending office actions necessitates a highly organized approach to examiner interaction.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 13 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. 13 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (2%) |
| §103 only | 17 (32%) |
| §102 only | 6 (11%) |
| §112 only | 2 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 23 (43%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (2%) |
