Technology area: Networking & Security
3 pending office actions • 2 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Cado Security Ltd. currently has 3 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. These 3 actions are being reviewed by 3 distinct examiners, meaning that each case is handled by a different individual. The portfolio is distributed across 2 distinct art units, indicating some technical variety within the company's security-focused innovations.
The busiest examiner, AHMED, ARHAM NMN, is responsible for 1 pending case. This matches the overall distribution where 3 distinct examiners handle 3 pending office actions. For a practitioner, this means there is no concentration of cases under a single examiner. Each of the 3 actions must be prosecuted as an independent matter, requiring a unique strategy for each of the 3 distinct examiners involved.
The involvement of 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's technology is reviewed by more than one technical group at the USPTO. While the portfolio is small with only 3 pending office actions, the practitioner must still account for the different examination standards of 2 distinct art units. Because each of the 3 distinct examiners only has 1 pending case, the practitioner cannot leverage a single relationship to resolve multiple pending matters for the company in the Networking & Security area.
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.
