Gridmatrix Inc. currently manages a focused patent portfolio within the Networking & Security technology area. The company has 1 pending office action across its entire filing history. This single pending matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, indicating a highly concentrated prosecution effort at this stage. Such a narrow focus suggests that the company's current intellectual property strategy is centered on a specific technical advancement rather than a broad array of diverse filings.
The prosecution is localized within 1 distinct art unit. PHILIP DANG serves as the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. This represents the entirety of the company's active examiner interactions, as the total number of distinct examiners is also 1. Practitioners can expect a streamlined communication path given that 1 busiest examiner handles the 1 pending office action currently on record. This concentration within 1 distinct art unit allows for a consistent dialogue with the patent office, potentially simplifying the negotiation of claim scope for the pending application.
