Akonia Holographics LLC is managing 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed among 2 distinct examiners but are contained within 1 distinct art unit. This structure shows that while the subject matter is concentrated in one administrative group, multiple reviewers are involved. The use of 1 distinct art unit for 2 examiners suggests a high degree of technical similarity between the pending matters.
BALRAM T PARBADIA is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending office action. Since the total pending office actions is 2 and the busiest examiner pending count is 1, the workload is split between the 2 distinct examiners. This distribution suggests that the company's immediate prosecution results are not tied to a single individual's review. Practitioners can expect to navigate the preferences of 2 distinct examiners, even though the prosecution remains within 1 technical group in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector.
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.
