Orange has 100 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The docket spans 97 distinct examiners and 75 distinct art units, reflecting broad distribution across both personnel and technical examination groups.
ALAM, MUSHFIKH I is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The limited concentration favors centralized docket controls, standardized claim review, and tracking of recurring art-unit practices rather than reliance on one examiner relationship.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 32 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. 32 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.
