Vienex Corporation has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units. The 2 pending office actions match the number of distinct examiners, meaning each person is handling a single matter.
The busiest examiner, KO, TONY, is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. This is the same volume as the other examiner in the portfolio. The 2 distinct art units indicate that each of the 2 pending office actions is being reviewed in a different specialized group at the USPTO.
With 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, the prosecution is evenly split. KO, TONY is one of the 2 distinct examiners who are each managing 1 busiest examiner pending action. This distribution shows that the company must manage two separate examiner relationships across two different art units within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics area.
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.
