VOC Health, Inc. manages a company patent portfolio in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The data shows 1 pending office action, which is the total number of active matters currently facing the company. This volume indicates a focused prosecution phase where the company is engaged with the patent office on a specific application.
The prosecution of this portfolio is highly concentrated, involving 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. This means that the active matter is being reviewed by a single individual within a specialized unit. For practitioners, this suggests that the outcome of the company's current patent efforts is entirely dependent on the review of this specific examiner.
KUAN, JOHN CHUNYANG is the busiest examiner for VOC Health, Inc., holding 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because this busiest examiner pending count matches the total pending office actions of 1, this individual is responsible for the entirety of the company's current workload. The alignment of the 1 distinct art unit with this single examiner further emphasizes the localized nature of the company's active patent prosecution.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
