Amphenol East Asia Electronic Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. currently manages 5 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 5 pending office actions are distributed among 5 distinct examiners, yet they are all contained within 1 distinct art unit. This structure indicates that while the company's technology is concentrated in a specific technical niche, the patent office has assigned a different individual to each of the 5 pending office actions.
PAUMEN, GARY F is identified as the busiest examiner for the portfolio with 1 pending office action. Since there are 5 pending office actions across 5 distinct examiners, the prosecution workload is dispersed among the individuals assigned to this 1 distinct art unit. For the company, this means that while the technical standards of the 1 distinct art unit will be consistent, the subjective approach to each of the 5 pending office actions will vary based on the 5 different 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (100%) |
