4 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 2 patents granted in the last 365 days
Private Identity LLC has 4 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. The entire portfolio is handled by 1 distinct examiner, CHAMPAKESAN, BADRI NARAYANAN, who is assigned all 4 pending actions. This creates a highly centralized prosecution environment where a single individual's interpretation of the law and technology governs the outcome of all current applications. Furthermore, the applications are located within 1 distinct art unit.
This indicates that the company's current patent efforts are focused on a specific niche within the Networking & Security sector. For the practitioner, this means that success or failure is entirely dependent on the relationship and technical dialogue with CHAMPAKESAN, BADRI NARAYANAN. Having 4 pending actions with 1 distinct examiner allows for a highly consistent prosecution strategy, as arguments made in one case are likely to be remembered and applied by the same examiner in the others. The fact that there is only 1 distinct art unit involved further simplifies the procedural landscape, as the company only needs to comply with the specific guidelines of that single unit.
