Viken Detection Corporation is managing 2 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This distribution suggests that the company's 2 pending office actions involve different technical aspects or classifications. By having the 2 pending office actions in 2 distinct art units, the company is engaging with different technical standards and examination groups within the patent office.
NISULA, CHRISTINE XU is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 1 pending office action. Given that there are 2 distinct examiners for the 2 pending office actions, the workload is evenly divided. The involvement of 2 distinct art units indicates that each pending matter is being evaluated within a different technical framework. For practitioners, this means that the prosecution of each application will likely require a unique strategy tailored to the specific examiner and the technical requirements of their respective art unit.
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.
