Technology area: Networking & Security
5 pending office actions • 3 art units • 5 examiners • 0 of 5 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 17 patents granted in the last 365 days
Purplevine Innovation Company Limited is navigating 5 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These matters are spread across 5 distinct examiners, indicating that no two pending actions are currently before the same individual. The portfolio is further distributed across 3 distinct art units, which suggests a moderate level of technical specialization within the networking sector. Practitioners managing this portfolio must adapt to the specific preferences of 5 different examiners across the 3 distinct art units to successfully resolve the pending office actions.
WONG, XAVIER S is identified as the busiest examiner, currently overseeing 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Since each of the 5 distinct examiners is only handling 1 pending office action, the prosecution workload is evenly dispersed. This lack of concentration across 3 distinct art units suggests that the company's prosecution experience will be highly varied. The involvement of 5 distinct examiners ensures that each of the 5 pending office actions is subject to an individual review process. Such a distributed environment requires a versatile approach to address the varying perspectives of the patent office staff across the Networking & Security field.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 3 (60%) |
| §102 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (20%) |
