Anpec Electronics Corporation has 2 pending office actions focused in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners located in 2 distinct art units. The busiest examiner for this portfolio is CHOI, SEUNG HO, who is currently managing 1 pending action.
The distribution of 2 pending office actions across 2 distinct art units indicates that the semiconductor and circuit filings are being reviewed in different specialized groups. Because there are 2 distinct examiners for the 2 actions, no single examiner holds a majority of the pending workload. CHOI, SEUNG HO, as the busiest examiner with 1 pending action, represents 1 of the 2 examiners for these active matters. This arrangement within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics area implies that the company's current legal challenges are being addressed by multiple experts rather than a single point of contact.
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.
