CyberArk Software Ltd. has 7 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The matters involve 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, so the docket is distributed across examination groups while some examiners handle more than one matter. The matching examiner and art-unit totals make art-unit-specific prosecution review especially useful, although examiner-level differences still require attention.
CHAI, LONGBIT is the busiest examiner, with 4 pending matters. That concentration makes this examiner's actions the most substantial internal source for identifying recurring claim, prior-art, or procedural issues. Counsel should use those matters to inform, not dictate, responses in the remaining applications. A separate review of the other examiner assignments can show whether apparent patterns reflect Networking & Security practice generally or only CHAI's handling of the docket.
