Wiliot Ltd. currently manages 5 pending office actions within the Communications technology area. This workload is distributed across 5 distinct examiners, indicating a broad spread of review despite the relatively small number of active matters. Each examiner is handling a portion of the portfolio, with KINCAID, LESTER G identified as the busiest examiner.
The portfolio is also spread across 5 distinct art units, suggesting that each pending action involves a unique technical sub-specialty. KINCAID, LESTER G currently has 1 pending action under review. This distribution between actions and examiners highlights a decentralized prosecution environment where no individual dominates the current docket. The presence of 5 distinct examiners across various art units for the pending office actions is a notable dispersion of resources.
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.
