KT Corporation has 35 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The matters involve 34 examiners and 27 art units, indicating that most examiner relationships cover a limited portion of the docket while several technical groups receive repeated attention.
UHL, LINDSAY JANE KILE is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending actions. Those matters provide a modest opportunity for coordinated review. The wider distribution means that counsel should maintain separate examiner tracking and use art-unit organization to support consistent technical analysis.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 8 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. 8 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 | 2 (6%) |
| §103 only | 11 (32%) |
| §102 only | 6 (18%) |
| §112 only | 2 (6%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (29%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (3%) |
