Technology area: Networking & Security
14 pending office actions • 11 art units • 14 examiners • 0 of 14 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 28 patents granted in the last 365 days
The MITRE Corporation currently faces 15 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These matters are distributed among 15 distinct examiners, creating a scenario where every single pending action is being reviewed by a different person. This high level of examiner diversity suggests that the company must manage a wide array of examination styles and interpretations across its Networking & Security portfolio.
The 15 pending office actions are spread across 12 distinct art units, indicating a broad technical and organizational reach within the patent office. This dispersion across many art units means that the portfolio is subject to the varying standards and prior art databases of multiple specialized groups. TRUONG, THONG P is identified as the busiest examiner, though they are only responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. This reinforces the observation that the workload is distributed, with no single examiner or art unit exerting a dominant influence over the 15 pending matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 7 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (7%) |
| §103 only | 8 (57%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (29%) |
