Digitalinsights Inc. has 5 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The matters involve 5 distinct examiners across 4 distinct art units, indicating broad examiner distribution with some concentration among technical groups.
SHUI, MING is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Each examiner handles only one pending matter, so responses should be tailored individually. The four-art-unit structure can still support portfolio-level review for recurring networking or security issues.
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.
