Anritsu Corporation currently has 15 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed across 15 distinct examiners and 6 distinct art units, showing a ratio of 1 examiner for every 1 pending action. This distribution suggests that every pending matter in the portfolio is being reviewed by a different individual, requiring a highly tailored approach for each application.
LUU, THANH X is identified as the busiest examiner for the company, currently managing 1 pending office action. Since there are 15 pending office actions and 15 distinct examiners, every examiner, including LUU, THANH X, is responsible for exactly 1 action. This lack of examiner concentration means that no single examiner's tendencies will dominate the outcome of the overall portfolio.
The involvement of 6 distinct art units indicates that the 15 pending office actions cover several different sub-specialties within Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. Practitioners must navigate the specific requirements of these 6 distinct art units while simultaneously managing 15 different examiner relationships. This structure requires a broad understanding of the technology area and the ability to pivot strategies across 15 distinct prosecution threads and 6 distinct art units.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 11 (69%) |
| §102 only | 3 (19%) |
| §112 only | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (6%) |
