AMD Design LLC holds 4 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These matters are spread across 4 distinct examiners but are limited to 2 distinct art units. CHIU, TAK LIANG is the busiest examiner, holding 1 busiest examiner pending action. With 4 distinct examiners for 4 pending office actions, the portfolio shows a high degree of examiner variety relative to the 2 distinct art units involved.
The concentration of 4 pending office actions within just 2 distinct art units suggests a focused technical scope. However, the use of 4 distinct examiners means that each action is being reviewed by a different person. CHIU, TAK LIANG, as the busiest examiner with 1 pending action, does not have a larger share of the portfolio than the others. This setup requires managing 4 different examiner relationships while dealing with only 2 sets of art unit-specific guidelines. Practitioners should look for consistency within the 2 distinct art units even as they navigate the individual preferences of the 4 examiners involved.
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.
