Technology area: Networking & Security
2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 2 patents granted in the last 365 days
Ilumi Solutions Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. Despite having multiple actions, the prosecution is highly centralized, involving only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. This concentration suggests that the company's current networking innovations are being evaluated as a closely related group of technologies, potentially allowing for a more uniform response strategy across its active applications.
BRANDON M RENNER is the busiest examiner, responsible for 2 pending office actions. This single examiner handles the entirety of the portfolio workload. The concentration of all active matters under 1 examiner and 1 art unit indicates that the company's current legal interactions are focused on a single point of contact at the patent office, which may streamline the negotiation process for its networking and security assets.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.

"Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
