Indian Institute Of Technology Bombay has a company patent portfolio in the Networking & Security technology area. The company currently has 4 pending office actions. These 4 actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is handling a single pending matter.
The portfolio spans 4 distinct art units. This indicates a high degree of technical diversity within the networking and security field, as each pending action is being reviewed by a different specialized group. ALSOMIRI, MAJDI A is the busiest examiner, with 1 busiest examiner pending office action.
Practitioners should observe that with 4 pending office actions across 4 examiners and 4 art units, the prosecution is highly decentralized. Each matter requires a unique strategy tailored to a specific examiner and art unit. This distribution suggests that the institute's innovations cover a wide range of networking and security sub-disciplines. Managing this variety requires the legal team to stay informed about the specific practices of 4 different art units simultaneously.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (100%) |
