Intertrust Technologies Corporation currently manages 9 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. These matters are distributed across 3 distinct art units, which suggests a focused technical scope for their current applications. The involvement of 9 distinct examiners means that every pending case is being reviewed by a different individual, requiring an individualized prosecution strategy for each matter. This diversity requires careful coordination across the portfolio.
The busiest examiner is SHAIFER HARRIMAN, DANT B, who is responsible for 1 of the pending office actions. Because there are the distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, the applicant must navigate a variety of examiner preferences within a limited number of departments. This level of examiner diversity across the Networking & Security sector indicates a decentralized prosecution environment. Managing the 9 pending office actions under these conditions requires attention to the specific requirements of each of the art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (11%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (33%) |
| §103 only | 2 (22%) |
| Double-patenting only | 3 (33%) |
