Sailpoint Technologies Inc. has 6 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The matters involve 6 examiners across 5 art units, so the portfolio has distinct examiner ownership with some art-unit concentration.
MCFARLAND-BARNES, KELAH JANAE is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner carries more than the reported single matter, which favors matter-specific prosecution planning. The five art units remain relevant for identifying related examination themes and coordinating docket review.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (40%) |
| §103 only | 2 (40%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (20%) |
