Avicena Systems Limited currently manages 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed between 2 distinct examiners, which indicates that each pending matter is being reviewed by a different official. This distribution requires the company to manage separate examiner perspectives simultaneously within the semiconductor sector.
The prosecution activity involves 2 distinct art units, reflecting the technical variety within the portfolio. HANEY, NOAH JAMES is the busiest examiner, currently responsible for 1 of the pending office actions. Since there are 2 pending office actions in total, the workload is evenly split across the distinct examiners. This suggests a balanced prosecution environment without a single point of congestion.
Practitioners should coordinate their efforts across the 2 distinct art units to ensure that the arguments made in one area are consistent with those in another. The 1 pending action under HANEY, NOAH JAMES is a key focus of the current docket. By addressing the pending matters with a unified strategy, the company can effectively advance its semiconductor and optics innovations through the patent office.
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.
