Hitachi Vantara LLC is currently managing 3 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. Each action is being handled by a different official, totaling 3 distinct examiners for the portfolio. Furthermore, these matters are distributed across 3 distinct art units, indicating no overlap in the administrative groups reviewing the company's software-related filings.
The busiest examiner is TO, BAOQUOC N, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because there are 3 pending actions and 3 distinct examiners, the prosecution strategy must account for three separate sets of examiner preferences and art unit norms. This distribution across 3 distinct art units and 3 distinct examiners suggests that the company's Computing & Software applications are technically diverse, as they have been assigned to three different specialized units within the USPTO for review.
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 (33%) |
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
