Govplus LLC is currently managing 4 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. These active cases are distributed among 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that the company's prosecution efforts are split between two different technical or procedural paths within the patent office.
ZHIMEI ZHU is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently handling 2 busiest examiner pending actions. This means that half of the 4 pending office actions are under the review of a single individual. The remaining cases are assigned to the other of the 2 distinct examiners, creating a concentrated workload that requires consistent communication with a very small group of officials.
The use of 2 distinct art units suggests that the Networking & Security filings are categorized into two specific sub-sectors. With 4 pending office actions in total, the legal team must balance the specific requirements of ZHIMEI ZHU against the feedback from the other examiner. This focused approach allows for a deep understanding of the preferences within these 2 distinct art units.
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.
