Beijing Voyager Technology Co., Ltd. is currently managing 4 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are distributed across 4 distinct examiners. While there are 4 examiners involved, the workload is contained within 2 distinct art units. This indicates that some examiners are working within the same art unit or that the technologies share similar classifications. The 4 pending office actions represent the current prosecution challenges for the company.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is NGUYEN, RACHEL NICOLE, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This distribution shows that the 4 pending actions are spread among the 4 distinct examiners. Practitioners should prepare for different examination styles across the 4 examiners while navigating the procedural standards of the 2 active art units. This balance of examiner variety and art unit concentration requires a strategy that accounts for both individual examiner tendencies and broader art unit trends.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 | 3 (75%) |
