NEC Platforms Ltd. is managing 8 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are distributed across 8 distinct examiners and 8 distinct art units, showing a high level of diversification in its prosecution strategy. Every single pending matter is currently being reviewed by a different examiner in a different specialized unit.
LESNIEWSKI, VICTOR D is the busiest examiner, currently responsible for 1 pending office action. Because each of the 8 pending actions is assigned to a different examiner and a different art unit, the portfolio appears to cover a wide array of networking and security technologies. This distribution ensures that no single examiner or art unit has a concentrated impact on the overall portfolio outcomes.
With 8 distinct art units involved, the company's networking and security innovations are being tested against a variety of technical standards and prior art pools. This broad exposure across 8 examiners provides a diverse range of feedback, which can be valuable for refining the company's long term patent strategy. The lack of concentration in any single art unit or under any single examiner highlights the breadth of the company's current technical focus.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 only | 1 (11%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (33%) |
| §103 only | 3 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (22%) |
