Leidos Security Detection & Automation Inc. is managing 2 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These actions are split between distinct examiners, with each examiner handling one case. Prosecution is distributed across 2 distinct art units, indicating technical variety even within this small portfolio. SETH, MANAV is the busiest examiner, currently holding 1 pending action.
With the 2 pending office actions and the distinct examiners, the practitioner must navigate different examination styles. The involvement of the 2 distinct art units suggests that the Communications applications are being reviewed in different specialized groups. SETH, MANAV is responsible for 1 pending action, making his feedback as significant as the other examiner in the portfolio. The pending office actions represent the current active prosecution for Leidos Security Detection & Automation Inc. Because there are distinct art units, the practitioner cannot assume that a strategy used in one case will directly apply to the other. This diversity in both examiners and art units for the pending actions requires a broad tactical approach. Practitioners should monitor the distinct examiners for unique requirements in the Communications field.
