Sun Patent Trust has 16 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The matters are assigned to 16 examiners across 12 art units, showing broad distribution across examination relationships and technical groups. The absence of repeated examiner assignments in the available data favors matter-specific prosecution planning.
TSE, YOUNG TOI is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel can maintain consistent positions on networking and security concepts across the portfolio, but should adapt claim amendments and arguments to each individual record and art-unit setting.
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.

| §103 only | 2 (12%) |
| §112 only | 2 (12%) |
| Double-patenting only | 11 (69%) |
