Analysis

Intertrust Technologies Corporation has 11 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The matters are assigned to 11 distinct examiners and 9 distinct art units, showing examiner diversity that is nearly as broad as the pending-action set and assignment across multiple technical groups.

SHAIFER HARRIMAN, DANT B is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner accounts for a recurring concentration beyond that assignment, so prosecution planning should emphasize matter-specific review. The art-unit distribution may also call for separate approaches to networking and security issues as they arise.
