2 pending office actions • 0 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Varidesk LLC currently has 2 pending office actions in its patent portfolio. These actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners, including MAESTRI, PATRICK J, who is the busiest examiner with 1 busiest examiner pending action. There are 0 distinct art units reported for these pending matters.
The 2 pending office actions are split between 2 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is managing an action. This distribution indicates that the company's current legal interactions are not concentrated under a single individual. The prosecution strategy must therefore address the specific requirements of 2 different examiners simultaneously.
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.
