Micware Co. Ltd. is managing 5 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These 5 actions are assigned to 5 distinct examiners, meaning that every active case is being reviewed by a different person. This 1 to 1 ratio of actions to examiners requires a unique prosecution approach for each of the 5 pending matters. MENG, JAU SHYA is the busiest examiner for the company, currently overseeing 1 pending action.
The 5 pending office actions are all contained within 1 distinct art unit, which provides a high degree of technical consistency for the portfolio. While there are 5 distinct examiners, the fact that they all operate within the same art unit suggests that the company's networking technology is being viewed through a single regulatory framework. Since MENG, JAU SHYA and the other examiners each handle only 1 pending action, the company's success depends on 5 independent negotiations within this single art unit. Practitioners can benefit from the consistency of 1 art unit while tailoring their arguments to the individual preferences of 5 different examiners.
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.

|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (40%) |
| §103 only | 1 (20%) |
