Standard Cognition Corp. has 3 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, showing a complete lack of concentration in the prosecution of these matters. Each of the 3 pending office actions is being handled by a different examiner in a different administrative group.
The busiest examiner, HOLDER, ANNER N, is responsible for 1 pending office action, which is consistent with the even distribution across the 3 distinct examiners. This 1 to 1 ratio of actions to examiners means that the company must navigate three separate prosecution tracks simultaneously. The involvement of 3 distinct art units suggests that the 3 pending office actions cover different technical aspects within the Networking & Security field.
Practitioners should be prepared for three different sets of examiner expectations and art unit guidelines. This diversity prevents any single official from having a disproportionate impact on the overall portfolio. However, it also means there is no opportunity to consolidate arguments across multiple cases with the same examiner or within the same art unit. The 3 pending office actions require a highly individualized approach for each matter within the Networking & Security sector.
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.
