Extreme Networks Inc. has 4 pending office actions distributed across the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are handled by 4 distinct examiners, which shows that each pending matter is assigned to a different individual. The portfolio spans 3 distinct art units, suggesting that while the examiners are unique, the technological focus is clustered within a small number of specialized groups at the office. The use of 3 distinct art units further indicates that the 4 pending office actions involve closely related but distinct technical classifications.
The busiest examiner identified is TOLENTINO, RODERICK, who is currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Since this examiner holds only 1 of the 4 pending office actions, the workload is evenly distributed across the 4 distinct examiners. This distribution requires the company to navigate the individual preferences of multiple examiners simultaneously rather than focusing on a single primary contact. Managing 4 pending office actions with 4 distinct examiners requires a strategy that accounts for varied examiner feedback while maintaining consistency across the Networking & Security portfolio.
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.
