Technology area: Networking & Security
7 pending office actions • 7 art units • 7 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 9 patents granted in the last 365 days
Forescout Technologies Inc. has 7 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These 7 actions are distributed among 7 distinct examiners, with each examiner responsible for one case. The portfolio is also spread across 7 distinct art units, meaning that every pending application is being reviewed in a different technical section of the patent office. This distribution indicates that the company's networking and security innovations are being evaluated independently across seven separate departments.
BROWN, CHRISTOPHER J is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, holding 1 pending office action. Because there are 7 pending actions in total, the workload is perfectly distributed across the 7 examiners. This lack of concentration across 7 art units suggests that the company's research covers a wide variety of specialized fields. Practitioners must manage seven unique examiner relationships and adapt to the specific standards of seven different technical groups to resolve the current pending matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 4 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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.
