Hyperconnect LLC is currently addressing 4 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. The portfolio is perfectly distributed with 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units involved in the process. Each pending action is assigned to a different examiner, with EKPO, NNENNA NGOZI being the busiest examiner with 1 pending action.
This structure indicates that the company's current applications are being reviewed in 4 separate administrative units. For the practitioner, this means there is no overlap in examiners or art units across the 4 pending actions. Every case requires a unique strategy tailored to a specific examiner and a specific art unit's policies. Because EKPO, NNENNA NGOZI and the other examiners each handle only 1 action, no single individual's decision-making style will dominate the portfolio. The applicant must be prepared to coordinate 4 entirely independent prosecution paths to move these Networking & Security matters forward.
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.
