Darfon Electronics Corp. has 8 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters involve 6 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, showing a portfolio distributed among several examiners with some art-unit concentration.
JIMENEZ, ANTHONY R is the busiest examiner, with 3 pending office actions. That assignment represents the clearest examiner-level concentration, so counsel should coordinate its response strategy closely while maintaining consistent positions across the remaining matters.
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 | 3 (43%) |
| §102 only | 1 (14%) |
| §112 only | 2 (29%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (14%) |
