AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc. currently maintains 5 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. This portfolio demonstrates a high degree of diversification, as the workload is spread across 5 distinct examiners. This distribution suggests that the company's patent applications are being evaluated independently by several different individuals rather than being concentrated under a single reviewer.
The administrative breadth of the portfolio is further evidenced by the involvement of 5 distinct art units. This variety indicates that the company's technical subject matter spans multiple specialized groups within the patent office. For a practitioner, this means that prosecution strategies may need to be tailored to the specific standards and tendencies of the various organizational units involved.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is KIM, WON TAE C, who is currently handling 1 pending office action. Given that the total number of pending office actions is 5, no single examiner dominates the company's prosecution landscape. Instead, each of the distinct examiners holds an equal share of the active workload, requiring the company to manage multiple simultaneous interactions across the patent office.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 + other | 1 (17%) |
| §103 only | 4 (67%) |
| §102 only | 1 (17%) |
