Crypto Lab Inc. has 9 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The matters involve 9 distinct examiners and 8 distinct art units, indicating a highly distributed prosecution docket with little repeated examiner contact.
MALINOWSKI, WALTER J is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The single-art-unit overlap does not appear to create a dominant examination relationship, so counsel should preserve consistent positions on security, networking, and software claim scope while adapting responses to each examiner. The figures support centralized portfolio coordination, but they do not establish common claim subject matter or similar office-action grounds.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (12%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (25%) |
| §103 only | 5 (62%) |
