Pulsar Security LLC currently manages 1 pending office action in the Networking & Security technology area. This single action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, SHEPPERD, ERIC W, who is located within 1 distinct art unit. This highly concentrated profile means that the company's current prosecution success depends entirely on a single examiner's review.
ERIC W SHEPPERD is the busiest examiner for the company, holding 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because there is only 1 pending office action in total, this examiner handles the entire active workload for Pulsar Security LLC. This one-to-one relationship between the action and the examiner simplifies the management of the Networking & Security portfolio but offers no examiner diversity.
Practitioners should note that with only 1 distinct art unit involved, the technical focus of the current prosecution is narrow. The presence of 1 pending office action means there are no other active cases to provide context or comparison within the USPTO. Success in this Networking & Security matter relies on navigating the specific requirements of ERIC W SHEPPERD within that single art unit.
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.
