BIZLINK INTERNATIONAL CORP. currently has 9 pending office actions within its company patent portfolio. These actions are located in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The prosecution of these matters involves 7 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This distribution of examiners and art units suggests the portfolio covers multiple technical sub-categories.
NGUYEN, TRUC T is the busiest examiner for this company, with 2 pending office actions. Although NGUYEN, TRUC T has the highest individual workload, the 7 distinct examiners across the portfolio mean that most applications are being reviewed by different individuals. This requires the company to manage multiple examiner relationships simultaneously.
The 3 distinct art units indicate that the 9 pending office actions are distributed across different specialized groups at the USPTO. With 2 pending office actions assigned to the busiest examiner, no single individual handles the majority of the portfolio's prosecution. Practitioners should prepare for varied feedback across the 7 distinct examiners currently assigned to these cases.
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 |
|---|---|
| §102 only | 4 (44%) |
| §112 only | 1 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (44%) |
