3 pending office actions • 2 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Jive Software Inc. has 3 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. These matters are assigned to 3 distinct examiners, meaning every active application is being reviewed by a different individual. These examiners are situated within 2 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's networking-related filings are concentrated in a few specific technical groups at the patent office.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is ZAIDI, SYED A, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because there are 3 pending office actions and 3 distinct examiners, the workload is perfectly distributed, with no single examiner handling more than one case. This lack of examiner overlap within the 2 distinct art units means that the company must manage multiple relationships and styles simultaneously.
The focus on the Networking & Security technology area across 3 pending office actions highlights the company's current intellectual property priorities. Practitioners should note that the 2 distinct art units will be the primary venues for determining the success of these applications. Each of the 3 distinct examiners brings a unique perspective to the portfolio's active matters.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (67%) |
