Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Circadian Os Inc. has 2 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. Although these actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners, they originate from 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that while the specific examiners vary, the technical evaluation remains centralized within a single administrative group at the patent office.
The busiest examiner, SONG, ZHENG B, is responsible for 1 pending office action. With the total pending actions split between the examiners, the company faces a risk profile where no single examiner controls the majority of the pending portfolio. This distribution requires monitoring individual examiner tendencies within the shared art unit.
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.
