Seo Hyun Choi has 2 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The matters are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. TRAN, ALEX HOANG is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter, so the reported cases are distributed across separate examination channels.
The docket supports separate response strategies supported by a common technical framework. Counsel should describe the networking or security architecture consistently, while analyzing each examiner’s claim interpretation and cited art independently. No repeated assignment is reported, making deadline coordination and application-specific prosecution analysis the main practical priorities.
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.
