Deutsche Telekom AG manages a company patent portfolio focused on the Networking & Security technology area. The portfolio is currently active with 9 pending office actions, indicating a robust effort to protect the company's technical innovations. This volume of 9 pending office actions suggests a consistent filing strategy aimed at maintaining a strong intellectual property position in the networking field.
The prosecution of these 9 actions is distributed among 9 distinct examiners across 8 distinct art units. This 9 to 9 ratio between actions and examiners indicates an extreme level of diversification. It suggests that the company's patent applications are specialized and cover a wide range of technical sub-fields, each requiring review by a different expert in a different administrative unit, as evidenced by the 8 distinct art units.
KHUU, IRENE C is listed as the busiest examiner for Deutsche Telekom AG, with 1 pending office action. Because the busiest examiner pending count is 1 and there are 9 total pending office actions, every single pending matter is being handled by a different examiner. This means that the company's prosecution success is decentralized, with the outcome of each of the 9 actions depending on a unique interaction with a different examiner across 8 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (12%) |
| §103 only | 2 (25%) |
| §102 only | 1 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (50%) |
