Viasat Inc. has 22 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters are distributed among 22 distinct examiners and 16 distinct art units, which places each matter with a separate examiner while concentrating multiple matters in some art units.
DETWEILER, JAMES M is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The portfolio therefore calls for broad examiner coordination rather than management of a single recurring examiner relationship. Art-unit review can still help organize response practice because the number of art units is lower than the number of examiners.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 8 (35%) |
| §103 only | 7 (30%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (26%) |
