VIDAA (NETHERLANDS) INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS B.V. has 3 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. The distribution of 3 pending office actions across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units suggests that each pending software matter is being reviewed by a different specialist in a different USPTO group.
The busiest examiner, HONG, STEPHEN S, is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because each of the 3 distinct examiners holds only one action, the current workload is not concentrated. Practitioners should be prepared for three different examination styles, as the 3 distinct art units may have varying guidelines for the Computing & Software sector. This dispersion across 3 distinct examiners requires a customized strategy for each case, as the lack of overlap in art units means that successful arguments in one matter may not be directly applicable to the others.
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.

| §103 only | 1 (50%) |
