Parallel Wireless Inc. has 42 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These matters are spread across 27 distinct art units, showing a diverse technical footprint within the networking sector. The prosecution involves 39 distinct examiners, indicating that most of the 42 pending office actions are being reviewed by different individuals. This high level of dispersion across 27 distinct art units requires a prosecution strategy that can adapt to many different examiner perspectives and art unit norms.
BALLOWE, CALEB JAMES is the busiest examiner with 3 pending office actions under review. This examiner handles a small portion of the total 42 pending actions, which points to a decentralized examination environment. The involvement of 39 distinct examiners across 27 distinct art units means that the company's networking and security innovations are being evaluated by many different technical divisions. Practitioners must be prepared for a wide variety of examiner styles given the 39 distinct examiners currently active.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 21 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. 21 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.
