Tmrw Group Ip has 6 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct art units and 6 distinct examiners. This means that the count of pending actions is equal to the count of examiners, indicating that every action is being reviewed by a different individual, even though they are grouped within only 3 art units.
CHALHOUB, JEFFREY ROBERT is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action. Since there are 6 pending office actions and 6 distinct examiners, the workload is fully decentralized among the examining corps. The concentration in 3 distinct art units suggests that the company's networking innovations are focused on a few specific technical sub-domains. Practitioners should be prepared to manage 6 separate examiner relationships while navigating the technical standards of the 3 distinct art units involved in these 6 pending office actions, noting that the busiest examiner handles only 1 case.
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 (17%) |
| §103 only | 2 (33%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (33%) |
