Vyv Inc. is managing 4 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. Each of these 4 pending office actions is assigned to a different person, as there are 4 distinct examiners involved. Furthermore, the actions are distributed across 4 distinct art units, indicating a broad spread of technical classifications. RAABE, CHRISTOPHER M is the busiest examiner, currently holding 1 busiest examiner pending action. This one-to-one ratio between actions, examiners, and art units suggests that the company's semiconductor filings are diverse and handled independently.
With 4 distinct art units, the company must navigate four different sets of examination practices. The presence of 4 distinct examiners means that no single individual has oversight of more than one pending case. Practitioners should be prepared to manage 4 distinct examiners who may have different interpretations of the 4 pending office actions. This distribution across 4 distinct art units requires monitoring of different examination styles and procedural nuances. The presence of 4 distinct examiners for 4 actions shows that each pending matter is receiving independent review. This level of dispersion requires a robust tracking system to maintain consistency across the portfolio.
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 (25%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
