Pindrop Security Inc. has 6 pending office actions in Communications. The matters are assigned to 6 examiners across 5 art units, indicating that the portfolio’s prosecution activity is broadly distributed within the communications examination structure. The assignment pattern supports application-specific review rather than reliance on one examiner relationship.
ADESANYA, OLUJIMI A is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner has more than one recorded pending matter, so counsel should compare actions across the art units to identify any recurring treatment of communication protocols, signal processing, or system claims.
The spread across art units may create differences in terminology and preferred claim framing. A coordinated portfolio review can preserve consistent positions on technical concepts while adapting arguments to the references and examination practices appearing in each individual record.
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 | 1 (17%) |
| §103 only | 4 (67%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (17%) |
