BESI Switzerland AG holds a patent portfolio in the Networking & Security technology area. The company is currently managing 2 pending office actions. This reflects a focused level of active prosecution for their networking filings.
The 2 pending office actions are distributed among 2 distinct examiners. These examiners are located in 2 distinct art units. This distribution means that each pending action is being reviewed by a different examiner in a different specialized technical group at the patent office.
NGUYEN, KATHLEEN V is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This 1 action is part of the total 2 pending office actions. Since there are 2 distinct examiners, NGUYEN, KATHLEEN V's workload is the same as the other examiner involved with the company's 2 pending actions.
With 2 distinct art units and 2 distinct examiners, the prosecution strategy must be tailored to two different sets of expectations. Practitioners should be ready to address the 2 pending office actions by navigating the specific requirements of 2 different USPTO divisions.
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 |
|---|---|
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (100%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
