3 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Blink Technologies Inc. currently has 3 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These 3 pending office actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, showing a concentration of work within a small group of personnel. SAMUEL D FEREJA is the busiest examiner for the company, handling 2 pending office actions. This means that a significant portion of the company's current pending matters are under the review of a single individual.
All prosecution activity is focused within 1 distinct art unit, which suggests a very specific technical niche for these applications. The combination of 3 pending office actions, 2 distinct examiners, and 1 art unit indicates a highly localized prosecution environment. Practitioners can expect a consistent application of art unit-specific rules, especially since FEREJA manages 2 of the active cases. This narrow focus in Networking & Security allows for a more targeted approach to responding to the 3 pending office actions. The fact that 2 examiners are working within 1 art unit suggests a very tight cluster of technology.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
