Technology areas: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics • Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
6 pending office actions • 6 art units • 6 examiners • 1 of 6 (17%) have an AI response strategy ready • 15 patents granted in the last 365 days
Belgravia Wood Limited maintains a patent portfolio focused on the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The company currently faces 6 pending office actions. These matters are distributed across 6 distinct examiners, suggesting a broad distribution of the company's legal matters across the patent office personnel.
The prosecution effort is further decentralized across multiple distinct art units. This variety indicates that the company's technological applications within its primary sector are being reviewed by several specialized groups. The lack of concentration in any single art unit may require a diverse strategy for responding to various examination styles.
SONG, ZHENG B is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. Given that the busiest examiner handles only a small fraction of the total pending office actions, the workload is evenly spread. This distribution minimizes the impact of any single examiner's specific tendencies on the overall portfolio progress.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 4 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 | 2 (33%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (50%) |
