Vacuworx Global LLC currently has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed among 2 distinct examiners and a pair of distinct art units. This distribution suggests that the company's current filings are being reviewed independently by different examiners, which can lead to diverse feedback across the portfolio.
The busiest examiner for this company is Kosky, Justin Thomas, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This accounts for a portion of the active pending office actions currently active for the organization. With the workload split between different examiners in separate art units, the company must manage distinct prosecution paths. This decentralized structure allows for a broader technical evaluation of the company's mechanical innovations, as each application is subject to the specific examination standards of a different administrative unit.
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.
