BIGO TECHNOLOGY PTE. LTD. is currently navigating 6 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are spread across 6 distinct examiners. The portfolio spans 5 distinct art units, suggesting technical variety for its applications.
YANG, ANDREW GUS is the busiest examiner for the company, though they only handle 1 pending office action. This indicates that the workload is divided among the examiners rather than being concentrated under 1 individual. This distribution ensures that the workload is spread among the examiners assigned to the Networking & Security area.
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 (17%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (17%) |
| §103 only | 3 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (17%) |
