Amphenol Commercial Products (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. currently manages 5 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners, which means that most matters are assigned to different individuals. The portfolio spans 2 distinct art units, indicating that the company's innovations are being reviewed across multiple specialized examination groups. This distribution requires a strategy that accounts for the varying perspectives of multiple examiners.
The busiest examiner for the company is TA, THO DAC, who is currently handling 2 busiest examiner pending office actions. This examiner manages a portion of the total 5 pending actions, making their individual examination style a factor for the company's success in this technology area. The remaining office actions are spread across the other distinct examiners. Practitioners should understand the preferences of TA, THO DAC while also managing the requirements of the 2 distinct art units involved in these matters. The diversity of examiners suggests that the company is pursuing a range of technical improvements within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
