2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Dzs Inc. currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Communications technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and distinct art units. This distribution shows that the count of pending actions matches the count of examiners, suggesting that the company's current prosecution workload is not concentrated under any individual.
LEE, JAI M is identified as the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently handling 1 pending action. This 1 action is part of the total pending office actions for the company. The involvement of distinct art units for the actions indicates that the technical subject matter, while categorized under Communications, is reviewed by different specialized groups within the patent office.
For practitioners, this spread across distinct art units means that prosecution strategies may need to account for the specific tendencies of different examination environments. With distinct examiners involved, the company maintains a small footprint across the office's personnel. The presence of a pending action with the busiest examiner highlights a balanced distribution where no examiner is managing more than a single case for this entity.
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.
