Sky Cp Limited maintains 3 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, indicating a broad spread of technical examination for the current portfolio. This distribution where each of the 3 pending actions is assigned to a different examiner suggests that no single individual is handling multiple matters simultaneously. The diversity of art units implies that the company's innovations span several technical sub-sectors within the Networking & Security field.
The busiest examiner identified is BRINEY III, WALTER F, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because the total of 3 pending office actions is split among 3 distinct examiners, the workload is evenly divided. The presence of 3 distinct art units further confirms that the pending office actions involve varied technical expertise. Practitioners should prepare for 3 separate prosecution tracks, as each of the 3 pending actions is managed by a different examiner in a different art unit. This decentralized structure requires a flexible approach to accommodate the varying preferences of multiple examiners across the 3 distinct art units.
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.
