Chiun Mai Communication Systems Inc. currently manages 3 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This portfolio is distributed across 3 distinct examiners and the same number of distinct art units, indicating a fragmented prosecution landscape where every pending matter is handled by a different individual. This structure suggests that the company's patent strategy must be tailored to the specific nuances of multiple separate administrative environments simultaneously.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is LEE, WILSON, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because the total number of pending actions is 3 and the number of distinct examiners is also 3, no single examiner holds a majority of the workload. This ratio between actions and examiners requires the applicant to address separate sets of examiner preferences. Practitioners should prepare for a lack of cross-case consistency, as the distinct art units involved likely operate under different internal guidelines.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
