Genetec Inc. manages 11 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. Each of these 11 pending office actions is assigned to a different person, as there are 11 distinct examiners involved. This distribution of actions to examiners means that the company's prosecution experience is highly decentralized, with no two pending applications currently being reviewed by the same individual.
The 11 pending office actions are spread across 8 distinct art units, reflecting a diverse range of technical focuses within the networking and security sector. DANIEL T TEKLE is listed as the busiest examiner, though this individual only has 1 pending office action. Because the busiest examiner pending count is 1, the workload is evenly distributed across all examiners. This level of dispersion across 8 distinct art units suggests that Genetec Inc. must address a wide variety of examination standards and technical interpretations across its 11 pending office actions. Practitioners should prepare for varied feedback across these different examination divisions.
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 (18%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (27%) |
| §103 only | 1 (9%) |
| §112 only | 1 (9%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (36%) |
