Axis AB has 12 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The portfolio involves 12 examiners across 9 art units, indicating fully dispersed examiner assignments within a smaller set of technical groupings.
LEE, JIMMY S is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner concentration dominates the record, so counsel should organize preparation around individual matters and recurring art-unit issues.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 + other | 3 (25%) |
| §103 only | 6 (50%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (17%) |
