Cable Television Laboratories Inc. has 16 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The portfolio spans 15 distinct examiners and 13 distinct art units, indicating that nearly every matter has its own examiner context and that the technical work is also broadly distributed.
PHAN, HANH is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. Because concentration is limited, counsel should organize prosecution records by technology and art unit while tracking individual examiner positions. Consistent explanations of network architecture, security functions, and claim relationships can reduce avoidable variation, but the breadth of assignments makes application-specific prior-art analysis important.
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.
