Vocalink Limited has 2 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, so the portfolio spans separate examination channels.
CHANG, EDWARD is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Both matters require individual tracking, with no larger examiner concentration identified in the data.
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.
