Analysis

The ADT Security Corporation has 6 pending office actions in Communications. The matters are distributed among 6 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units, showing that examiner assignments are fully separate while the organizational distribution includes some overlap.

HUNNINGS, TRAVIS R is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The lack of a larger examiner concentration favors application-specific prosecution planning. Counsel should preserve a common communications technology framework while checking each art unit for distinct examination practices.
