Vivo Mobile Communication Co., Ltd. has 426 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The portfolio spans 340 distinct examiners and 103 distinct art units, indicating a broad prosecution footprint across both personnel and technical examination groups.
ZUNIGA ABAD, JACKIE is the busiest examiner, with 4 pending matters. That assignment provides a defined point for targeted examiner review, but it is only one relationship within a highly distributed profile.
The examiner count substantially exceeds the art-unit count, so multiple examiners are active within several technical groupings. Counsel should track recurring networking and security issues at the art-unit level while separately evaluating examiner-specific treatment of claim scope and prior art.
A centralized process for docketing, disclosure consistency, related applications, and recurring claim language can support portfolio control. Individual response plans remain necessary because the data shows extensive variation in examination assignments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 87 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 87 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 2 (0%) |
| §101 + other | 26 (6%) |
| §103 only | 183 (44%) |
| §102 only | 53 (13%) |
| §112 only | 10 (2%) |
| Double-patenting only | 3 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (0%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 135 (33%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (0%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
