Juniper Networks Inc. manages a portfolio with 57 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are distributed across 26 distinct art units, reflecting a range of technical focuses within the networking sector. The company interacts with 52 distinct examiners, which requires a strategy capable of addressing many different examination approaches. Philip C Lee is the busiest examiner for the company, currently handling 2 pending office actions.
This indicates that the workload is decentralized, as the majority of the 52 examiners are managing only a single action. The presence of 26 distinct art units suggests that the portfolio covers many diverse technical sub-fields. Managing 52 distinct examiners for 57 pending actions highlights a complex prosecution environment. Philip C Lee manages 2 of the active matters. The number of 57 pending office actions is higher than the 26 distinct art units involved.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 16 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. 16 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 + other | 7 (13%) |
| §103 only | 29 (54%) |
| §112 only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting only | 4 (7%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (19%) |
| No statute on record | 2 (4%) |
