Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Acconeer AB currently has 2 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed between 2 distinct examiners, yet they both fall within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that while different individuals are reviewing the applications, the technical subject matter is consistent enough to remain within a single administrative division of the patent office. This centralization can lead to more uniform technical feedback across the portfolio.
LE, HAILEY R is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. Since there are 2 pending office actions and 2 distinct examiners, each examiner is responsible for exactly half of the company's current pending workload. The focus on 1 distinct art unit suggests a concentrated technical strategy within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field. This profile shows that Acconeer AB is engaging with multiple examiners while maintaining a narrow technical scope for its current pending matters, requiring consistency in arguments presented to the single art unit.
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.
