Lindsey Firesense LLC has 3 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. The portfolio is evenly spread across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. RICHARD A HANSELL JR. is the busiest examiner, currently overseeing 1 pending action. This distribution indicates that each of the company's current pending matters is being handled as a unique technical case.
Because each of the 3 pending office actions is in a different art unit, the company faces a diverse set of examination environments. Practitioners must navigate 3 different sets of examiner preferences and art unit standards. This lack of overlap requires a tailored approach for each application to ensure success at the USPTO.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (67%) |
