Accelink Technologies Co. Ltd. has 2 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed among 2 distinct examiners, including PHAM, THAI N, who is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. The entire pending portfolio is situated within 1 distinct art unit.
The involvement of 2 distinct examiners for the pending office actions means that the company is dealing with a direct ratio of examiners to cases. This requires the applicant to maintain distinct strategies for each examiner, as PHAM, THAI N and the other examiner may have different interpretations of the technology. The concentration in 1 distinct art unit, however, mitigates some of this complexity by ensuring that both examiners are governed by the same departmental standards.
Managing the pending office actions within a single art unit allows for a more efficient administrative process compared to portfolios spread across multiple units. The company can leverage its experience with the 1 distinct art unit to inform its responses to both examiners. PHAM, THAI N is responsible for 1 pending office action, which represents the current focus of the company's prosecution efforts in this technical field.
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 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
