Aplus Power Technology (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. has 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. LEE, JYE-JUNE is the busiest examiner, currently handling 1 pending office action. The presence of actions across multiple art units indicates some technical overlap in the company's current prosecution.
The 3 pending office actions are all located within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. Although there are 3 distinct examiners involved, they are working within only 2 distinct art units. LEE, JYE-JUNE is the busiest examiner, managing 1 pending office action. This means each of the pending office actions is assigned to a different examiner. The concentration in 2 art units suggests that the actions involve closely related technologies, even though they are being reviewed by different individuals.
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.
