Keysight Technologies Inc. manages 15 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These 15 pending office actions are assigned to 15 distinct examiners. This distribution means that every pending matter is being handled by a different person, indicating a broad distribution of the workload.
The company's prosecution activity is spread across 10 distinct art units. This count of 10 distinct art units is lower than the 15 distinct examiners, showing a degree of technical diversity within the networking sector. TRAN, ALEX HOANG is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with a busiest examiner pending count of 1. This busiest examiner pending count of 1 is consistent with the overall distribution of 15 actions among 15 examiners.
For practitioners, the 15 pending office actions across 10 distinct art units present a diverse prosecution environment. The involvement of 15 distinct examiners means the company must adapt to a wide variety of individual examination styles. The busiest examiner pending count of 1 confirms that no single examiner has a disproportionate impact on the current pending portfolio, as each examiner manages only one action.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 only | 1 (7%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (13%) |
| §103 only | 6 (40%) |
| §102 only | 1 (7%) |
| §112 only | 2 (13%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (20%) |
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.
