The company patent portfolio for Iboss Inc. currently features 1 pending office action within the Networking & Security technology area. This single action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, WALSH, JOHN B, who is also the busiest examiner for the portfolio. Because there is only 1 distinct art unit involved, the prosecution activity is located in one specific area of the USPTO.
For a practitioner, this data indicates the current scale of interaction. With WALSH, JOHN B managing the 1 busiest examiner pending action, the outcome of this specific case will determine the status of the entire pending portfolio. The alignment of the examiner across the art unit suggests that the Networking & Security filings are not currently distributed across multiple specialized groups. This activity means that the relationship with the individual examiner is a primary factor in the portfolio's progress.
Practitioners should note the workload of 1 pending office action. The presence of the distinct examiner and the distinct art unit simplifies the monitoring process but increases the impact of a single examiner's perspective on the company's intellectual property goals. There are no other pending actions to provide a comparative baseline for examiner behavior within this portfolio.
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.
