BEAMMWAVE AB currently manages 4 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. These active matters are distributed among 4 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This distribution shows that the company's networking innovations are being reviewed by multiple officials across several administrative sections of the patent office. The involvement of 3 distinct art units suggests that the company's technology is being evaluated against different sets of prior art and examination standards.
The busiest examiner for the company is MILLS, DONALD L, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Given that there are pending office actions in total, the 4 distinct examiners are all currently handling cases for the company. This variety requires a prosecution strategy that can adapt to the specific requirements of each unit. Practitioners should note that the results in a specific matter may not necessarily predict the outcomes in others because different officials are responsible for the pending office actions. MILLS, DONALD L handles a portion of the docket.
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 | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (75%) |
