7 pending office actions • 4 art units • 7 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 10 patents granted in the last 365 days
Aviatrix Systems Inc. has 8 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are handled by 8 distinct examiners, resulting in a unique examiner for every pending action. This spread indicates that the company's current prosecution is not concentrated under any single examiner's discretion.
The workload is situated across 5 distinct art units. This concentration in 5 art units relative to the number of distinct examiners suggests that some examiners share the same art unit. GREENE, JOSEPH L is the busiest examiner, though this individual is responsible for only 1 pending office action.
With 8 pending office actions and multiple examiners, the portfolio requires managing several separate examiner relationships. The presence of 5 distinct art units within the Networking & Security area implies that while the examiners are different, their technical focus is clustered within a limited number of specialized groups.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (29%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (29%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (29%) |
