Streaming Global, Inc. maintains a patent portfolio focused on the Networking & Security technology area. The company currently has 1 pending office action under review at the patent office. This prosecution activity is distributed across 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, indicating a precise and narrow focus for the current filings. The alignment of these metrics suggests that the company's intellectual property is currently being evaluated within a specific niche of the Networking & Security sector.
The busiest examiner identified in the portfolio is SHELEHEDA, JAMES R, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This figure matches the total number of pending actions for the company, showing that SHELEHEDA, JAMES R handles the entirety of the active workload. For patent practitioners, this means that all current strategic responses and examiner interviews are concentrated with one specific official. This concentration allows for a highly tailored approach to prosecution, as the applicant can focus exclusively on the preferences and historical tendencies of this single examiner.
The presence of 1 distinct art unit indicates that the company's current patent applications are not being split across different technical departments. This streamlined prosecution path reduces the complexity of managing multiple examiner styles or conflicting unit-specific guidelines. Practitioners should note that the 1 to 1 ratio of pending actions to examiners provides a clear and singular point of contact for the company's active patent matters. This data provides a baseline for future filings, as any expansion in the portfolio will likely introduce new examiners or art units.
