Cyntec Co., Ltd. has 4 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 4 actions are distributed across 3 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's electronic innovations are technically diverse. Each of the 4 pending actions is assigned to a different person, as there are 4 distinct examiners involved. This distribution means that every active matter is being reviewed by a different individual despite the small size of the portfolio.
KIMBERLY E GLENN is the busiest examiner, though she is only managing 1 pending office action. This reflects an even distribution where no single examiner holds a majority of the company's active cases. With 4 pending office actions spread across 3 art units, the company must address a variety of technical classifications. Practitioners should note that the busiest examiner handles 1 of the active matters, which is consistent with the overall distribution of the portfolio. The focus on Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics ensures that the prosecution remains within a specific technical framework. With 4 pending office actions and 4 distinct examiners, the company must manage various examiner preferences to advance its interests in its chosen field.
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 | 2 (50%) |
| §102 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
