Ovh has 13 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters span 11 examiners and 5 art units, indicating substantial examiner dispersion within a comparatively limited technical-unit structure.
PAPE, ZACHARY is the busiest examiner, with 3 pending matters. That concentration is a practical focal point for examiner-specific review, while the remaining assignments call for coordinated portfolio tracking.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 + other | 1 (8%) |
| §103 only | 6 (46%) |
| §112 only | 3 (23%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (23%) |
