Cato Networks Ltd. has 2 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners, meaning each official is responsible for a unique case. NICHOLAS R TAYLOR is identified as the busiest examiner, though he only has 1 pending office action under his review. The portfolio is also divided across 2 distinct art units, matching the count of examiners.
The correspondence between 2 pending office actions and 2 distinct art units suggests a diverse prosecution effort. The company must address the specific feedback of NICHOLAS R TAYLOR for his 1 pending action while simultaneously managing a separate matter in a different art unit. This structure requires the company to navigate different sets of examiner expectations and technical standards. The limited volume of pending office actions allows for a focused approach to each individual case within the Networking & Security field.
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.
