Avalon Technology Solutions LLC has 4 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The matters involve 4 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, indicating that at least one art unit handles more than one examination assignment.
CRIGLER, RYAN ALEXANDER is the busiest examiner. Counsel should coordinate responses at the art-unit level while preserving examiner-specific treatment of network and security issues.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (50%) |
| §102 only | 1 (25%) |
