Sagemcom Broadband Sas is managing 10 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. These 10 actions are spread across 10 distinct examiners, showing a highly distributed workload. The portfolio also involves 5 distinct art units, indicating that the company's networking innovations are being reviewed across several different technical groups. This distribution means that for every pending matter, there is a unique examiner assigned, which may prevent any single examiner from becoming a bottleneck for the company's overall patent strategy.
TSVEY, GENNADIY is identified as the busiest examiner, holding 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Because there are 10 pending office actions and 10 distinct examiners, each examiner is currently responsible for exactly 1 case. The use of 5 distinct art units suggests that the company's patent strategy in networking and security touches on a broad range of technical classifications. This variety of 5 distinct art units requires the applicant to be prepared for different examination styles and technical expertise across the office. With no examiner handling more than 1 busiest examiner pending office action, the prosecution process appears to be well-balanced.
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.
