Analysis

Dish Wireless LLC has 44 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The portfolio spans 42 distinct examiners and 34 distinct art units, reflecting broad distribution across the examination organization. A centralized prosecution framework is useful for consistency, but response tactics will need to account for differing examiner and art-unit contexts.

KIM, WON TAE C is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The modest concentration at that examiner leaves most of the docket distributed elsewhere, making comprehensive status controls and reusable technical support important for counsel.
