4 pending office actions • 1 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 3 patents granted in the last 365 days
Cict Connected And Intelligent Technologies Co. Ltd. currently manages 4 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. These 4 actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners, yet they all fall within 1 distinct art unit. This suggests that while the company's filings are concentrated in a single specialized division of the patent office, they are being reviewed by a variety of different individuals within that group.
JAVAID, JAMAL is identified as the busiest examiner, currently handling 1 pending office action. This accounts for a portion of the company's total 4 pending actions. The fact that 4 examiners are working within only 1 art unit implies a high level of internal consistency in the technical standards applied to the portfolio, even as multiple examiners provide their individual assessments. Practitioners should prepare for a unified art unit environment while managing 4 separate examiner perspectives. This structure allows the company to benefit from the specialized knowledge of a single art unit while addressing the unique feedback of 4 different officials. The prosecution strategy can remain focused on the specific guidelines of the Networking & Security unit while navigating the individual nuances of each examiner's review.
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.
