The company patent portfolio for Entrata Inc. includes 3 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, indicating that each case is being handled independently by a different examiner in a different specialized group. The busiest examiner, TRUONG, LAN DAI T, is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action.
For a practitioner, this distribution shows a lack of examiner concentration despite the small number of 3 pending office actions. Because each action is assigned to one of the distinct examiners, there is no opportunity to leverage a single relationship across multiple cases. The involvement of 3 distinct art units further suggests that the Networking & Security filings cover diverse technical aspects that fall under different USPTO jurisdictions.
This structure requires the practitioner to manage three separate prosecution tracks simultaneously. With TRUONG, LAN DAI T and the other examiners each handling 1 busiest examiner pending action, the workload is balanced across the examining corps. Practitioners must be prepared for potentially different examiner styles and art unit standards across these 3 pending office actions, as there is no overlap in personnel or units.
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.

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.
