Netbrain Technologies Inc. currently manages 4 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. These matters are assigned to 4 distinct examiners, which indicates that each application is being evaluated by a different individual. This distribution suggests that the company's current patent filings are subject to independent reviews across the patent office.
The prosecution effort involves 4 distinct art units, reflecting the technical breadth of the pending applications. This variety of art units means that the company's legal strategy must account for the different practices of 4 technical groups. The busiest examiner for the portfolio is JOO, JOSHUA, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This examiner's workload represents a specific portion of the total pending actions identified.
Because the 4 pending office actions are spread across 4 distinct examiners, there is no central point of contact for the portfolio's current prosecution. Practitioners should be prepared to navigate different administrative channels to monitor the progress of these applications. The use of 4 distinct art units underscores the need for a strategy that addresses the requirements of the identified technical divisions within the Networking & Security sector.
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 |
