Citrix Systems Inc. manages a portfolio with 23 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These matters are assigned to 23 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is responsible for a single case. The prosecution activity is widely distributed across 18 distinct art units, indicating a range of technical research and development within the networking field.
PAUL, DISLER is identified as the busiest examiner for the company, currently handling 1 pending office action. Because 23 distinct examiners are each managing a case, the legal team must coordinate with a large number of individuals across the patent office. The 18 distinct art units involved suggest that the portfolio covers many different specialized areas within networking and security. This level of distribution across both examiners and art units requires a highly organized approach to manage the 23 pending office actions effectively.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 6 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 | 2 (8%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (8%) |
| §103 only | 14 (58%) |
| §112 only | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (21%) |
