Genetec Inc. currently has 11 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These 11 actions are being reviewed by 11 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is handling exactly 1 case for the company. Furthermore, the prosecution is spread across 11 distinct art units, which indicates that every pending matter is being evaluated in a unique administrative environment.
DANIEL T TEKLE is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending office action. Since every 1 of the 11 distinct examiners has only 1 pending action, the workload is perfectly distributed across the group. The fact that 11 examiners are working in 11 different art units suggests a very broad technical spread within the Networking & Security field. Practitioners should be prepared for 11 independent prosecution paths for the 11 pending office actions.
The 1:1 ratio between the 11 pending office actions and the 11 distinct examiners indicates a lack of overlap in the prosecution process. Because each examiner operates within 1 of the 11 distinct art units, there is no central point of contact for the company's active matters. Daniel T Tekle and the other examiners will each apply their own specific standards to the individual applications. This requires practitioners to develop 11 independent strategies tailored to the specific requirements of each art unit and examiner involved.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 2 (17%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (25%) |
| §103 only | 2 (17%) |
| §112 only | 1 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (33%) |
