TriVascular Inc. currently has 3 pending office actions. These matters are assigned to 3 distinct examiners, showing that each pending action is being handled by a different individual. The data indicates 0 distinct art units associated with these filings.
ANH TIEU DANG is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending action. This matches the workload seen across the other distinct examiners. Practitioners should note that the portfolio's pending actions are entirely handled by separate examiners, preventing any consolidation of prosecution strategy with a particular official. The absence of multiple art units suggests a specific technical focus for these pending actions. The 1 pending action assigned to ANH TIEU DANG is part of this distributed prosecution effort.
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.

|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (33%) |
