Peratech IP Ltd. manages a patent portfolio in the Networking & Security technology area with 4 pending office actions. These actions are spread across 4 distinct examiners, suggesting that the pending matters are being reviewed by different individuals. Despite the number of examiners, the portfolio is contained within 2 distinct art units, indicating that the pending matters are grouped into specific technical divisions within the USPTO.
The busiest examiner, TRAN, TRI MINH, is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This means that the 4 pending office actions are distributed among the 4 distinct examiners. The distribution across 4 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units shows that the portfolio's current prosecution is handled by several individuals. For the applicant, this requires a strategy that accounts for the varying perspectives of the examiners while maintaining consistency across the 2 involved art units during the prosecution phase.
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.
