Technology area: Networking & Security
10 pending office actions • 6 art units • 10 examiners • 0 of 10 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 29 patents granted in the last 365 days
Zhejiang Lab currently manages 9 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. These 9 actions are distributed among 9 distinct examiners, resulting in a ratio of one pending matter per examiner. This distribution indicates that no single examiner has a concentrated influence over the portfolio. These actions are spread across 5 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's research in Networking & Security spans several different technical sub-groups.
CHOLLETI, RAGHAVENDER NMN is identified as the busiest examiner for the portfolio, though they are only responsible for 1 pending office action. Given that all 9 examiners are each handling exactly 1 pending action, the workload is balanced across the individual examiners. The involvement of 5 distinct art units for the 9 pending actions means that some art units are reviewing multiple applications. Practitioners should look for consistency in technical interpretations within those 5 units while addressing the 9 unique examiners.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (10%) |
| §101 + other | 4 (40%) |
| §103 only | 1 (10%) |
| §112 only | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (30%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
