Cognitive Systems Corp. has an active prosecution profile in the Networking & Security technology area, with 5 pending office actions currently in progress. These actions are distributed among 5 distinct examiners, showing a high degree of variety in the individuals reviewing the company's applications. This distribution extends to the organizational level as well, with the workload spread across 5 distinct art units. DECKER, CASSANDRA L is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, though they are only responsible for a pending office action.
For a practitioner, this means that prosecution strategies must be tailored to five different examiner styles and five sets of art unit expectations within the Networking & Security field. The lack of concentration among the 5 distinct examiners suggests that the company's patent successes are not reliant on a single relationship or examiner's perspective, but rather on a broad range of interactions across the USPTO. Each of the 5 pending office actions represents a unique prosecution track, requiring individual attention to the specific technical standards of each art unit.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 3 (75%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
