VIA LABS, INC. currently manages 3 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 3 actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, meaning each pending application is being reviewed by a different person. These examiners are located across 2 distinct art units, indicating some level of technical overlap in the administrative handling of the applications. This distribution suggests that while the examiners are different, the technical subject matter is concentrated in a few areas.
YALDO, ABIGAIL AMIR is the busiest examiner for the company, responsible for 1 pending office action. Because there are distinct examiners for the pending actions, the workload is spread evenly, with no single examiner handling more than 1 case. The use of 2 distinct art units suggests that at least some of the examiners are likely working within the same technical group, even though they are distinct individuals. This requires the company to monitor the specific habits of the different examiners while navigating the standards of the art units.
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.
