Dish Wireless LLC is managing 48 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are distributed among 47 distinct examiners and 37 distinct art units. This wide distribution shows that the company's patent applications are being reviewed by a vast array of different technical groups and individuals across the patent office.
FAYED, RASHA K is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 2 pending office actions. With 48 total actions and 47 examiners, nearly every examiner is handling only a single matter for the company. The presence of 37 distinct art units suggests a very broad technical scope within the networking and security sector. This highly decentralized environment requires the company to manage relationships with 47 different examiners across 37 different units. Practitioners must be prepared for a wide variety of examiner perspectives, as no single individual's habits will significantly influence the overall outcomes for this large portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 9 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 9 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 only | 1 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (2%) |
| §103 only | 28 (58%) |
| §102 only | 3 (6%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 12 (25%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
