Analysis

CrowdStrike Inc. has 28 pending office actions in Networking & Security. These matters involve 26 distinct examiners and 23 distinct art units, reflecting a widely distributed prosecution portfolio. Counsel should expect variation in examination practice and maintain detailed records of claim scope, cited issues, and response positions for each matter.

MORRIS, JOHN J is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The modest concentration at that examiner does not replace the need for broad portfolio coordination, because most prosecution activity is spread among other examiner and art-unit assignments.
