The UNIVERSITY OF WEST BOHEMIA IN PILSEN currently has 2 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This structure shows that each pending matter is being evaluated in a different administrative environment within the patent office.
The busiest examiner, GUNDRY, STEPHEN T, is assigned 1 pending action, while the portfolio contains 2 pending office actions in total. Because there are 2 distinct art units involved, the university must address the specific requirements of different technical groups. This diversification, even at a small scale, requires monitoring the distinct examination styles of 2 distinct examiners.
With the portfolio demonstrating a specialized presence in Networking & Security, the fact that the busiest examiner handles only 1 pending action indicates that the workload is evenly spread. The progress of the university's applications is subject to the independent timelines of the different examiners currently engaged with the files.
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.
