Adeia Semiconductor Solutions LLC maintains a portfolio with 4 pending office actions focused in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These active matters are handled by 3 distinct examiners across distinct art units. This distribution shows that the company's semiconductor intellectual property is being scrutinized by several technical experts across different specialized divisions. The alignment of examiners and art units suggests that each matter is being treated as a distinct technical challenge within the semiconductor field.
The busiest examiner for the company is ANDUJAR, LEONARDO, who is responsible for 2 busiest examiner pending office actions. This represents a portion of the company's 4 total pending office actions, making this specific examiner a central figure in the current prosecution cycle. The remaining actions are split among the other examiners, requiring a strategy that balances the volume with ANDUJAR against the individual requirements of the 3 art units. Practitioners should prioritize understanding ANDUJAR's specific examination style, as his decisions will impact a significant share of the company's currently active semiconductor applications.
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 |
|---|---|
| §102 only | 1 (33%) |
| §112 only | 1 (33%) |
