Netbrain Technologies Inc. currently maintains 5 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners, with JOO, JOSHUA identified as the busiest examiner. JOO, JOSHUA is responsible for 2 pending actions, while the remaining actions are split among the other examiners.
The prosecution efforts are spread across 4 distinct art units. This indicates a diverse range of technical sub-specialties within the Networking & Security field. The 5 pending office actions suggest an active and ongoing engagement with the patent office across multiple fronts.
For practitioners, the involvement of 4 distinct art units requires a versatile approach to prosecution, as different units may have varying internal policies. With 2 pending actions assigned to the busiest examiner, there is a slight concentration of workload that may allow for some consistency in negotiation. However, the overall distribution across the distinct examiners necessitates tracking multiple examiner styles and timelines simultaneously to manage the 5 pending office actions effectively.
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.
