Callminer Inc. currently manages 3 pending office actions within the Communications technology area. These matters are distributed across 2 distinct art units, indicating a focused technical scope for the company's current filings. The prosecution involves a matching number of distinct examiners, which requires the legal team to manage multiple interpersonal dynamics at the USPTO.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is HANG, VU B, who is responsible for 2 pending office actions. This means that a portion of the 3 total pending actions are consolidated under this individual, while the remaining action is handled by the other distinct examiner. Practitioners should prioritize establishing a consistent rapport with HANG, VU B, as this examiner holds more than half of the company's current pending workload.
The presence of 2 distinct art units within the Communications sector implies that the company's innovations span different classification specialties. With the pending office actions to address, the legal team must coordinate responses across these separate administrative divisions. Monitoring the specific tendencies of HANG, VU B and the other examiner will be essential for achieving successful outcomes in this technical field.
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.
