Technology area: Networking & Security
7 pending office actions • 6 art units • 7 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 22 patents granted in the last 365 days
New H3C Technologies Co., Ltd. has 6 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are distributed across 5 distinct art units. The company is currently working with 6 distinct examiners to resolve these matters. This ratio of 6 distinct examiners to 6 pending office actions indicates that no cases are currently being reviewed by the same person.
WEI, ZENGPU is the busiest examiner, though he only handles 1 pending office action. This lack of examiner overlap, combined with the 5 distinct art units, shows that the company's prosecution efforts are decentralized. Practitioners must tailor their approach to the 6 different individual styles across 5 art units. The presence of 5 distinct art units for 6 pending office actions requires an understanding of the technical niches within the networking and security sector. Successfully navigating these 6 pending office actions will require a highly customized approach for each individual reviewer.
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 | 2 (29%) |
| §103 only | 3 (43%) |
| §102 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (14%) |
