Seoul Viosys Co., Ltd. maintains a patent portfolio with 41 pending office actions. These actions are primarily located within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The company interacts with 35 distinct examiners, a count that suggests an active prosecution strategy across many different patent applications.
The 41 pending office actions are distributed across 16 distinct art units. This variety of art units indicates that the company's semiconductor and optics innovations are being evaluated by a range of specialized technical groups. With 35 distinct examiners and 16 art units, many examiners are likely working within the same art units to process the 41 pending actions.
VANORE, DAVID A is the busiest examiner for the company, currently managing 2 pending office actions. This busiest examiner pending count of 2 is small compared to the total of 41 pending office actions, demonstrating that the portfolio's workload is decentralized. The company must manage relationships and responses across a pool of 35 examiners, with no single individual controlling a significant portion of the total pending matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 12 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. 12 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 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (2%) |
| §103 only | 18 (41%) |
| §102 only | 3 (7%) |
| §112 only | 2 (5%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 17 (39%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
