AT&T Intellectual Property I L.P. has 128 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The matters involve 126 distinct examiners across 89 distinct art units, showing a large and highly distributed prosecution operation across the technology area.
WHITE, DYLAN C is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The limited concentration means that portfolio controls, response calendars, and consistent technical direction are central management needs, while individual arguments must address the separate examination assignments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 22 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. 22 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 | 9 (8%) |
| §101 + other | 12 (10%) |
| §103 only | 53 (45%) |
| §102 only | 3 (3%) |
| §112 only | 2 (2%) |
| Double-patenting only | 14 (12%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 21 (18%) |
| No statute on record | 3 (3%) |
