Ictk Co. Ltd. currently manages 2 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners within 1 distinct art unit. AMIE CHINYU LIN is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending office action. The use of 1 distinct art unit indicates a focused technical area. However, the presence of 2 distinct examiners means that each action is being evaluated by a different individual. Practitioners should be aware that even within 1 art unit, different examiners may have varying interpretations of the Networking & Security subject matter.
The 1 distinct art unit suggests that the 2 pending office actions are closely related in terms of technology. AMIE CHINYU LIN is the busiest examiner, responsible for 1 pending office action. The other of the 2 pending office actions is assigned to the second of the 2 distinct examiners. This distribution requires practitioners to manage 2 separate prosecution tracks despite the shared art unit. The Networking & Security focus is clear, but the 2 pending office actions will be decided by 2 distinct examiners. Practitioners should prepare for 2 different sets of examiner preferences.
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.
