Virtual Connect Technologies Inc. maintains a patent portfolio with 2 pending office actions focused in the Networking & Security technology area. The distribution of these matters across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units suggests a diverse examination environment despite the small volume of active cases. This spread indicates that the company's intellectual property assets are being evaluated by multiple specialized groups within the patent office, which can lead to varying examination timelines.
The busiest examiner currently associated with the portfolio is BAZNA, JUDY. This examiner is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. Practitioners should note that the workload is split, as the 2 pending office actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners. This ensures that no single individual or art unit dominates the current prosecution landscape for Virtual Connect Technologies Inc. within the Networking & Security sector, as the 2 distinct art units involved represent a broad administrative reach for the company.
