Line Plus Corporation is overseeing 2 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. Both actions are housed within 1 distinct art unit, indicating a consolidated technical focus. However, the company is working with 2 distinct examiners for these matters. BAYARD, DJENANE M is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action.
This arrangement means that while the technical field is consistent, the prosecution will be influenced by the distinct styles of two different examiners within the same art unit. Practitioners should be prepared to manage two separate examiner relationships while maintaining a consistent technical narrative. The concentration in the technical unit suggests that the company's current innovations are closely related.
The use of 2 distinct examiners provides a safeguard against the potential biases of a single reviewer. This balanced approach requires attention to the specific feedback from each examiner within the single art unit.
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 | 1 (50%) |
