Diamond&Zebra Electric Mfg Co. Ltd. has 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. HINSON, RONALD is the busiest examiner, responsible for 2 of the pending office actions. This distribution shows that while the portfolio is small, it is not confined to a single individual.
The 3 pending office actions are spread across 2 distinct art units, indicating some technical variety within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector. With 2 distinct examiners involved, the company is navigating multiple perspectives at the patent office. However, the concentration of 2 pending office actions under HINSON, RONALD suggests that this examiner has a significant influence on the overall prosecution timeline. The remaining workload is handled by the other distinct examiner in a separate art unit.
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.
