Technology area: Networking & Security
19 pending office actions • 6 art units • 19 examiners • 0 of 19 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 17 patents granted in the last 365 days
Mavenir Systems Inc. currently manages 17 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are distributed among 17 distinct examiners, ensuring that each of the 17 pending office actions is reviewed by a unique individual. This complete lack of examiner overlap suggests that the company's prosecution outcomes are highly dependent on a wide variety of individual examiner styles and interpretations. The prosecution activity is concentrated within 5 distinct art units.
SCHWARTZ, JOSHUA L is identified as the busiest examiner, yet he is responsible for only 1 busiest examiner pending action. This means that the workload is perfectly distributed across the 17 distinct examiners, with no single person handling more than one case. This structure indicates that while the company's filings are technically focused within 5 distinct art units, the patent office has assigned a large pool of examiners to handle the volume. Practitioners should be aware that even within the same art unit, the experience may vary significantly due to the large number of different examiners involved in the Networking & Security portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (5%) |
| §103 only | 7 (37%) |
| §102 only | 3 (16%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (42%) |
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.
