Cujo LLC maintains 4 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. The busiest examiner for the portfolio is MANOHARAN, MUTHUSWAMY GANAPATHY, who is responsible for 1 pending office action.
The distribution of the pending office actions across multiple examiners indicates a lack of examiner overlap, even though the work is concentrated in 2 distinct art units. While MANOHARAN, MUTHUSWAMY GANAPATHY is the busiest examiner, the workload is evenly spread across the examiner pool. This structure in the Networking & Security sector suggests that the pending matters are receiving individual attention from a variety of personnel. For the applicant, this diversification across the distinct examiners may lead to varying prosecution experiences despite the shared technological focus of the 2 distinct art units.
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.
