Arista Networks Inc. has 40 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The matters involve 40 distinct examiners and 31 art units, showing that the docket is broadly distributed among examiners and spans a wide range of technical assignments.
YE, ZI is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. No examiner appears to handle multiple listed actions, so prosecution management should emphasize scalable internal coordination and matter-level analysis rather than a single examiner strategy. The art-unit distribution also supports tracking recurring networking issues separately from examiner-specific practice.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 9 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. 9 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 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (3%) |
| §103 only | 16 (46%) |
| §102 only | 3 (9%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 12 (34%) |
