Dymium Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. Both of these 2 actions are located within 1 distinct art unit, indicating a narrow technical focus for these filings. The cases are being reviewed by 2 distinct examiners, so each action is being handled by a different person. This means that even within a single art unit, the company must address two different individual review styles. The 2 pending office actions represent the current scope of the company's patent prosecution.
STRAUB, D'ARCY WINSTON is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 1 pending office action. The other pending action is handled by the other distinct examiner. Since each of the 2 distinct examiners has 1 action, the workload is evenly split. Practitioners should note that the 2 pending office actions are concentrated in 1 art unit but subject to the interpretations of 2 different people. This requires a strategy that accounts for the specific norms of the 1 art unit while responding to 2 unique examiners.
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.
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.
