Giesecke+Devrient Mobile Security Germany GmbH maintains a portfolio with 14 pending office actions. These actions are distributed across the Networking & Security technology area. The company interacts with 14 distinct examiners, which matches the total number of 14 pending actions. The prosecution effort is spread across 11 distinct art units, suggesting a broad technical reach within the security sector.
DOLLY, KENDALL LYNN is identified as the busiest examiner, and this individual is responsible for 1 pending action. This distribution shows that the workload is decentralized, requiring the company to manage relationships and responses across a variety of examination styles and art unit cultures. The presence of 14 distinct examiners for the current workload highlights a lack of examiner overlap in the current portfolio. Managing 11 distinct art units simultaneously requires a versatile approach to patent prosecution to address the varying standards of different examination groups. This decentralized structure ensures that the company's Networking & Security filings are reviewed by a wide array of patent office personnel.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 + other | 1 (7%) |
| §103 only | 6 (43%) |
| §102 only | 2 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (36%) |
