TuneIn, Inc. currently has 4 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are distributed across 4 distinct art units, showing that every pending matter is being reviewed by a different specialized group at the USPTO. The prosecution involves 4 distinct examiners, meaning that every pending action is also being handled by a different individual.
The busiest examiner, GUZMAN, JAVIER O, is responsible for only 1 pending office action, which is consistent with the total of 4 distinct examiners for 4 actions. This lack of examiner concentration means that the company cannot rely on a single examiner's history to influence multiple cases. Instead, each of the 4 pending office actions must be managed as an independent interaction with a unique examiner in the Networking & Security sector.
With 4 distinct art units involved for 4 pending actions, the portfolio is completely decentralized across different USPTO divisions. The fact that GUZMAN, JAVIER O and the other examiners each hold only 1 action highlights the need for a highly individualized prosecution strategy. This requires the applicant to tailor their approach to 4 different examiner perspectives and 4 different art unit standards to resolve the 4 pending office actions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (25%) |
