Bright Data Ltd. has 11 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The matters involve 7 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units, showing a distributed docket with repeated assignments across both categories.
YE, ZI is the busiest examiner, with 4 pending matters. This is the largest examiner-specific cluster in the profile, so consistent treatment of related claim language and recurring issues may improve docket management. The remaining matters still require separate attention across their examiner and art-unit assignments.
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 (11%) |
| §112 only | 1 (11%) |
| Double-patenting only | 5 (56%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (11%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (11%) |
