Douyin Vision Co., Ltd. has 24 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These 24 pending office actions are spread across 24 distinct examiners, which means the number of examiners is equal to the number of pending cases. The portfolio involves 16 distinct art units, a smaller figure than the 24 distinct examiners. This indicates that some of the 16 art units contain multiple examiners working on the company's applications.
PHAM, KHANH B is the busiest examiner for the portfolio with 1 pending office action. Because the busiest examiner has 1 pending action out of the total workload, the prosecution is spread across the distinct examiners. Practitioners must manage the active cases, interacting with a distinct examiner for each case. This distribution across 16 distinct art units suggests that the Networking & Security filings are not concentrated under PHAM, KHANH B.
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 + other | 5 (21%) |
| §103 only | 11 (46%) |
| §102 only | 2 (8%) |
| §112 only | 2 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (17%) |
