VIDAA (NETHERLANDS) INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS B.V. currently faces 3 pending office actions within the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, suggesting that while the examiners are unique for each case, there is some overlap in the art unit classifications. This structure requires the applicant to manage different examiner relationships while navigating the specific procedural nuances of the 2 distinct art units within the Computing & Software field.
HONG, STEPHEN S serves as the busiest examiner for this portfolio, holding 1 pending office action. With the distinct examiners managing the 3 pending office actions, the prosecution experience is decentralized at the individual level. The presence of 2 distinct art units indicates that the software-related subject matter is being reviewed under different specialized frameworks. Practitioners should note that with the examiners, there is a higher probability of encountering similar prior art or rejection styles within the shared units, even though different individuals are conducting the examinations.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
