Corephotonics Ltd. currently manages 7 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are assigned to 7 distinct examiners, indicating that each active file is under the review of a different official. The workload is distributed across 4 distinct art units, showing that the company's technology touches upon several specialized classifications within the USPTO.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is HUANG, WEN, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because the 7 pending office actions are spread among 7 distinct examiners, the company must maintain a flexible prosecution strategy that accounts for many different individual preferences. This lack of concentration means that no single examiner's tendencies will dictate the overall success of the portfolio.
With 7 pending office actions and 4 distinct art units, the company must navigate various procedural norms within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector. The involvement of 7 distinct examiners requires a high level of coordination to ensure that legal arguments remain consistent across all filings. Practitioners should focus on the specific requirements of each of the 4 distinct art units to optimize their response strategies.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 | 4 (57%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (43%) |
