Amlogic (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. has 6 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These 6 actions are split among 6 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units, indicating technical variety for a small number of pending actions. Each of the 6 examiners is responsible for exactly one case.
TYLER J PERENY is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action. Because the 6 pending actions are distributed across 5 different art units, the company must navigate the specific guidelines of multiple technical divisions. This decentralized prosecution profile requires the company to manage 6 different examiner relationships simultaneously. The presence of 6 pending actions across 5 art units highlights the technical diversity of Amlogic's communications portfolio, as almost every case is in a different division. This variety in examiners and art units suggests that the company must maintain a flexible prosecution strategy to address the different standards across 5 distinct art units.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (33%) |
| §103 only | 2 (33%) |
| §112 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (17%) |
