9 pending office actions • 7 art units • 9 examiners • 0 of 9 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Data Vault Holdings Inc. maintains a portfolio with 9 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are handled by 9 distinct examiners across 7 distinct art units. The number of 9 distinct examiners relative to the 9 pending office actions shows a broad distribution of the company's legal efforts across the patent office. This variety of examiners suggests that the company's applications are being scrutinized by a wide range of individuals.
PATEL, JAY M is listed as the busiest examiner, responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Because the 9 pending office actions are divided among 9 distinct examiners, the workload is not concentrated under any single individual. The 7 distinct art units further demonstrate a wide technical range for the pending applications. This lack of concentration across 7 distinct art units may require the company to manage multiple different prosecution styles simultaneously, as each examiner is currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending office action.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (11%) |
| §101 + other | 4 (44%) |
| §103 only | 2 (22%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (11%) |
