Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
4 pending office actions • 2 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 5 patents granted in the last 365 days
Aa Power Inc. is currently managing 5 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are spread across 5 distinct examiners, meaning every active action is being handled by a different individual. Despite this variety in personnel, the filings are concentrated within 2 distinct art units, suggesting a consistent technical focus for the portfolio. The 2 distinct art units indicate that the company's current research is focused on specific sub-sectors within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field.
The busiest examiner, CHAN, DANNY, is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. This indicates that the 5 pending office actions are distributed among the 5 distinct examiners without any concentration under this official. Practitioners must prepare for different sets of examiner habits while operating within the specific constraints of the 2 distinct art units identified in the data. Success across the 5 pending office actions will require a strategy that addresses the individual feedback of each assigned examiner.
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 |
|---|---|
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (75%) |
