Anlotek Limited is currently managing 2 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are spread across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, indicating a diversified prosecution landscape despite the small number of cases. The busiest examiner, PATEL, RAKESH BHASKARBHAI, is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action.
The distribution of 2 pending office actions across 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's semiconductor and optics interests are being evaluated under different sets of examination guidelines. Because each of the 2 distinct examiners handles only one case, no single examiner has a dominant influence over the portfolio's overall direction. This structure requires the company to adapt to the specific requirements of multiple art units simultaneously. For a portfolio with this many pending office actions, having 2 distinct examiners provides a broader perspective on how the USPTO views their technology. This diversification across 2 distinct art units can be beneficial for identifying which technical arguments are most effective in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector.
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.
