Dong-A University Research Foundation For Industry-Academy Cooperation has 3 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The matters are distributed among 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. BRANIFF, CHRISTOPHER is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action.
The matching counts indicate separate examination paths across the networking and security portfolio. Counsel should maintain application-specific responses while coordinating definitions and technical explanations that may recur across related filings. The BRANIFF matter is one individual assignment, so the profile does not support a strategy centered on repeated examiner treatment.
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 (33%) |
| §102 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
