OpenTV Inc. has 4 pending office actions within the Networking & Security technology area. These matters are distributed among 4 distinct examiners. The portfolio is active in 3 distinct art units. HUYNH, AN SON PHI is the busiest examiner for the company. This examiner is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. The distribution of 4 pending office actions across 4 distinct examiners shows that no examiner is handling more than one case.
