Cariad (China) Co. Ltd. has 3 pending office actions in Networking & Security. Each matter is assigned to a distinct examiner and a distinct art unit, so the recorded workload is fully dispersed across examination assignments.
PONTIUS, JAMES M is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should therefore focus on the specific record for each application and use any common technology or claim themes to maintain consistency without assuming that one examiner’s approach controls the others.
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 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
