China Electric Power Research Institute has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 2 pending office actions are handled by distinct examiners, ensuring that each case receives attention from a different official. This arrangement avoids a situation where a specific examiner controls all pending matters for the company. The 2 pending office actions represent the total current workload for the company in this area.
The portfolio is concentrated within 1 distinct art unit. This concentration in 1 distinct art unit may allow for a unified prosecution strategy regarding the technical standards of that specific unit. KOSSEK, MAGDALENA IZABELLA is the busiest examiner and is currently managing 1 pending office action. With multiple examiners and a single art unit, the prosecution remains focused while still involving multiple perspectives during the examination phase.
