B. G. Negev Technologies and Applications Ltd. currently has 3 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. The portfolio is entirely decentralized, with 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units involved. This means that every pending action is in a different art unit and is being reviewed by a different examiner. SATCHER, DION JOHN is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action.
The presence of 3 distinct art units for only 3 actions indicates that the company's communications research is highly varied. For the practitioner, this means there is no opportunity to leverage examiner or art unit consistency across the current pending portfolio. With 3 pending actions spread across 3 distinct examiners, the company must manage three completely separate prosecution paths. SATCHER, DION JOHN is just one of three individuals currently reviewing the company's patent applications.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 | 2 (12%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (19%) |
| §103 only | 2 (12%) |
| §112 only | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (50%) |
