KDDI Corporation has 16 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The matters involve 15 examiners across 14 art units, indicating that most assignments are unique while some examiner and technical groupings recur.
KHAN, ATTA is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending actions. Those matters are the clearest opportunity for coordinated examiner-level review. The remaining assignments should be managed separately, with art-unit context retained for evaluating related technical issues.
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 | 1 (6%) |
| §103 only | 5 (31%) |
| §102 only | 1 (6%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (6%) |
