Raytrx LLC is managing 4 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are all concentrated in 1 distinct art unit, suggesting a very specific technical focus for the company's current filings. The prosecution involves 4 distinct examiners, meaning each pending action is assigned to a different individual.
Pontius, James M is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 1 pending office action. Although there are 4 distinct examiners, the fact that they all operate within 1 distinct art unit suggests that the examination criteria and prior art references may be relatively consistent across 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 3 (75%) |
