Verisign Inc. has 15 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The actions are assigned to 15 examiners across 14 art units, indicating that nearly every matter has a distinct examination setting and that the docket spans multiple technical classifications.
JAMSHIDI, GHODRAT is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Examiner-specific concentration is therefore absent from the portfolio. Counsel should rely on consistent security and networking positions at the portfolio level, while tailoring prior-art analysis and claim amendments to the separate art-unit assignments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 8 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. 8 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.
