CXMT Corporation is currently managing 4 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed across 4 distinct examiners, which indicates that each pending case is being reviewed by a different individual. Despite this examiner diversity, the portfolio is concentrated within 2 distinct art units, suggesting that the technical subject matter falls into specialized groups.
NGUYEN, VIET Q is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently handling 1 pending office action. Because there are 4 pending office actions and 4 distinct examiners, the workload is distributed such that each examiner, including NGUYEN, VIET Q, manages 1 pending case. This distribution requires the practitioner to adapt to 4 different examination styles while operating within the broader frameworks of the 2 distinct art units.
The focus on Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics across 4 pending office actions shows a consistent investment in this technology sector. Managing 4 distinct examiners within 2 distinct art units means that some examiners likely work under the same supervisory staff. This structure allows for observation of legal arguments between the 4 pending cases, provided they align with the specific requirements of the 2 distinct art units involved.
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.
