Applied Minds, LLC is currently managing 3 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct art units, which indicates that each pending matter involves a different specialized technical field within the broader networking sector. The company is also dealing with 3 distinct examiners, meaning that every active office action is being reviewed by a different individual. This distribution suggests a diverse range of technical challenges that must be addressed independently.
WASEL, MOHAMED A is identified as the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. Because each of the 3 distinct examiners is handling exactly one case, the workload is distributed across the involved personnel. For practitioners, this means there is no central examiner to influence the majority of the portfolio. Instead, three separate prosecution tracks must be managed across 3 distinct art units, requiring a diverse set of arguments to satisfy three different examiners. The data shows a balanced interaction with the patent office where each of the 3 pending office actions is treated as a unique technical and legal matter.
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.
