CPS Technology Holdings LLC maintains 4 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are distributed across 4 distinct examiners, indicating a lack of examiner overlap in the current portfolio. Furthermore, the portfolio spans 4 distinct art units, which suggests the company's technical applications are diverse enough to be categorized into multiple specialized groups.
The busiest examiner identified is COMBER, KEVIN J, who is currently handling 1 pending office action. This figure matches the workload of other examiners in the portfolio, as the total of 4 pending actions is spread among the distinct examiners. This distribution means that no single examiner holds a majority of the company's pending cases, with each examiner managing a single action.
With 4 distinct art units involved, the prosecution strategy must account for the varying standards and practices across different technical divisions. The 1 pending action assigned to COMBER, KEVIN J represents a portion of the total pending office actions currently active for the company. Practitioners should prepare for the distinct examiners and art units in their planning within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector.
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 | 2 (50%) |
| §112 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
