RingCentral Inc. has 9 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The matters are assigned to 9 distinct examiners and 9 distinct art units, showing complete dispersion across both examiner and art-unit assignments in the available data.
GAVIN, KRISTIN ELIZABETH is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The data therefore points to matter-specific prosecution rather than a recurring examiner strategy. Each response should be developed against its own examination record and technical classification.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 3 (33%) |
| §103 only | 3 (33%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (22%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (11%) |
