3 pending office actions • 3 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 5 patents granted in the last 365 days
Tenable Inc. currently has 3 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is responsible for a single pending matter. Furthermore, the portfolio is spread across 3 distinct art units, indicating that each pending office action is being reviewed by a different specialized department within the patent office.
ALMEIDA, DEVIN E is identified as the busiest examiner for Tenable Inc., with 1 pending office action. This workload is shared equally with the other distinct examiners involved in the company's 3 pending office actions. The fact that the company has 3 distinct art units suggests a diverse technical range within the Networking & Security field. Practitioners must manage separate examiner relationships and different art unit environments, as there is no concentration of examiners or art units in the current portfolio. This distribution of 3 pending office actions across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units requires a versatile prosecution strategy.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
