InVue Security Products Inc. has 6 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The matters involve 5 examiners across 3 art units, so the portfolio has both examiner dispersion and multiple technical examination settings.
MAAZOUZ, GHIZLANE is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That assignment is larger than the workload attached to each other named examiner, making it a practical focal point for docket review. The remaining matters still require separate treatment because the profile identifies more than one art-unit setting.
For prosecution planning, counsel should distinguish issues that may recur within the shared art-unit structure from those tied to individual examiners. The examiner concentration is limited, so a focused review of the two matters assigned to MAAZOUZ can be paired with coordinated handling of the other responses.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 3 (43%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (29%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (14%) |
