Intellectual Discovery Co., Ltd. has 9 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These 9 pending office actions are distributed among 9 distinct examiners. This means the number of 9 distinct examiners is equal to the number of 9 pending office actions. The portfolio is active across 4 distinct art units, which is a smaller number than the 9 distinct examiners involved. This indicates that multiple examiners are working within the same art units.
HAQUE, MD NAZMUL is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. This 1 pending office action is part of the 9 pending office actions currently active. With 9 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, the prosecution is spread across individuals but concentrated in 4 distinct art units, which is a smaller number than the 9 distinct examiners. This distribution across 4 distinct art units suggests that the Networking & Security applications fall into 4 distinct art units worth of technical categories.
