ReliaQuest Holdings LLC has 13 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are spread across 8 distinct art units. This distribution across 8 art units for 13 actions suggests that the company's security innovations are being reviewed by several different specialized technical groups.
There are 12 distinct examiners involved in these matters. TRAN, TRI MINH is the busiest examiner, handling 2 pending actions. This indicates that almost every pending action is being reviewed by a different examiner. With 13 actions and 12 examiners, there is nearly a one-to-one ratio of examiners to pending matters, which limits the company's ability to find consistent patterns across the portfolio.
The presence of 12 examiners for 13 pending actions across 8 art units highlights a decentralized prosecution landscape. Only TRAN, TRI MINH is handling 2 actions, meaning the company must be prepared for 12 different examination styles. For a practitioner, this means that each of the 13 pending actions likely requires a unique approach tailored to the specific examiner and art unit involved.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 5 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 + other | 2 (15%) |
| §103 only | 7 (54%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (15%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (8%) |
