Keysight Technologies Inc. has 11 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The matters involve 10 examiners and 10 art units, indicating broad distribution across examination assignments with limited overlap at both levels.
TRAN, ALEX HOANG is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending office actions. Those files merit coordinated review for consistent positions, but the larger docket requires matter-specific analysis because most examiner and art-unit assignments are distinct.
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 (9%) |
| §103 only | 5 (45%) |
| §102 only | 1 (9%) |
| §112 only | 1 (9%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (27%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
