Vusiongroup GmbH currently faces 5 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are spread across 5 distinct examiners, which indicates that every pending application is being reviewed by a different individual. This lack of examiner overlap suggests a diverse range of prosecution experiences and potential outcomes for the company's current filings.
The portfolio spans 4 distinct art units, showing that the technical subject matter is broad enough to trigger review by multiple specialized groups within the patent office. OMETZ, DAVID LOUIS is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. Because the pending actions are distributed so widely, the company must manage separate examiner relationships simultaneously across the semiconductor and optics fields, requiring a versatile approach to patent advocacy. The absence of examiner concentration within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics area means that the company's overall success is not tied to any single individual's review style.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (20%) |
| §102 only | 2 (40%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (40%) |
