Box Inc. has 14 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The matters involve 13 distinct examiners and 12 distinct art units, indicating a broad examination footprint with some repeated examiner and unit assignments. Counsel should maintain centralized tracking while preserving matter-specific analysis of software, networking, and security claim issues.
GEE, JASON KAI YIN is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That assignment provides a limited opportunity for coordinated review, but it does not represent the whole docket. Art-unit patterns may help guide preparation, while application-specific claim construction and prior-art responses remain necessary.
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 | 5 (33%) |
| §103 only | 7 (47%) |
| §102 only | 1 (7%) |
| §112 only | 1 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (7%) |
