Thales Holdings UK PLC is currently managing 2 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This distribution shows that each pending application is being treated as a separate technical and administrative matter.
GINGRICH, SHADAN HAGHANI is the busiest examiner, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. This is one of the 2 pending office actions for the company. Because the 2 distinct examiners are in 2 different art units, the applicant must navigate two different sets of examination guidelines.
The small number of pending actions suggests a focused and manageable prosecution pipeline. With multiple distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units involved, the applicant must manage a variety of examiner preferences and art unit guidelines. This distribution suggests a range of technical challenges within the networking sector. Practitioners should be prepared to adapt their arguments to the specific technical nuances recognized by each separate art unit.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
