Amtran Technology Co. Ltd. has 4 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These are distributed among 4 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This structure indicates that each of the 4 pending office actions is being handled by a different individual, which can lead to varied prosecution experiences. For practitioners, the involvement of 2 distinct art units means that the company's technology is being evaluated under two different sets of technical standards.
KRYUKOVA, ERIN is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending office action. While KRYUKOVA, ERIN is the busiest, they only handle 1 of the 4 pending office actions. The presence of 2 distinct art units suggests that the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics innovations are grouped into specific technical clusters. Practitioners should look for patterns within these 2 distinct art units to streamline prosecution, even though they will be interacting with 4 distinct examiners. The outcome for each case will depend on the specific interaction with each of the 4 distinct examiners, including KRYUKOVA, ERIN.
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 | 1 (25%) |
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
