10 pending office actions • 5 art units • 10 examiners • 0 of 10 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 44 patents granted in the last 365 days
Asia Vital Components Co., Ltd. has 9 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These matters are assigned to 9 distinct examiners. This arrangement means that every pending matter is being reviewed by a different individual, preventing any single examiner from becoming a bottleneck for the company's current prosecution. The number of examiners relative to the total volume suggests that various perspectives are being applied to the portfolio.
The workload is spread across 4 distinct art units. Because the number of examiners exceeds the 4 distinct art units, multiple individuals are likely working within the same technical groups. This concentration within a few units may allow for some consistency in examination despite the variety of personnel. NGO, STEVEN is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending office action. This individual's workload is the same as the others handling the 1 pending office action per person distribution.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 6 (60%) |
| §102 only | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (30%) |
