Prove Identity Inc. is currently navigating 4 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This distribution shows that the workload is spread across more than one regulatory group. The 4 pending office actions represent the total active workload for the portfolio.
DHAKAD, RUPALI acts as the busiest examiner, overseeing 2 busiest examiner pending actions. The remaining actions are split between the other 2 distinct examiners. This concentration with DHAKAD, RUPALI means the busiest examiner handles a portion of the active portfolio. With 3 distinct examiners involved, the company must manage multiple simultaneous examiner interactions.
The 2 distinct art units suggest that the 4 pending office actions involve different technical classifications. Practitioners should note that the distinct examiners are operating across these units. This structure requires a coordinated technical dialogue during the prosecution of the 4 pending office actions.
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 |
