6 pending office actions • 2 art units • 6 examiners • 0 of 6 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 10 patents granted in the last 365 days
BITMAIN TECHNOLOGIES INC. is currently navigating 7 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's semiconductor innovations span multiple sub-specialties. The portfolio involves 7 distinct examiners, meaning each pending action is being reviewed by a different individual.
QUIGLEY, THOMAS K is the busiest examiner for the portfolio with 1 pending office action. This distribution indicates that no single examiner is currently managing a majority of the company's active patent applications.
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 |
|---|---|
| §102 only | 1 (17%) |
| §112 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (67%) |
