CyberArk Software Ltd. has 9 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are distributed among 6 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units. This indicates a concentration of the workload, as 6 distinct examiners are handling the 9 pending office actions. LONGBIT CHAI is the busiest examiner for the company, currently overseeing 4 pending office actions. This means a significant portion of the total pending actions are being handled by a single examiner.
The remaining actions are spread across the other 5 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units, reflecting a more dispersed evaluation for the rest of the portfolio. The involvement of 5 distinct art units for 9 pending actions shows that the company's networking and security innovations are technically diverse. LONGBIT CHAI is the primary point of contact for the portfolio with 4 pending office actions. Managing prosecution with 6 distinct examiners requires a strategy that accounts for both the concentration with LONGBIT CHAI and the variety of perspectives from the other examiners.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
