7 pending office actions • 7 art units • 7 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 14 patents granted in the last 365 days
Via Technologies Inc. has 9 pending office actions in Communications. The matters involve 9 distinct examiners and 9 distinct art units, so every listed action has a separate examiner and art-unit assignment in the available record. KOZIOL, STEPHEN R is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter.
The complete correspondence between actions, examiners, and art units indicates no repeated assignment at either level. Counsel should therefore avoid assuming that an approach used in one matter will transfer to another. Portfolio management is best structured around individual prosecution histories, with technology-level coordination used only for issues that are independently supported by the record.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 6 (86%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (14%) |
