V-nova International Limited has 15 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The matters involve 14 distinct examiners across 8 distinct art units, showing broad examiner dispersion within a smaller number of technical units.
BENNETT, STUART D is the busiest examiner with 2 pending matters. The limited concentration suggests that recurring examination issues may be easier to identify by art unit or technology than by examiner. Counsel should coordinate core claim positions while adapting arguments and amendments to each individual prosecution record.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 | 4 (29%) |
| §103 only | 2 (14%) |
| §102 only | 2 (14%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (36%) |
