Ejot SE & Co. Kg is managing 5 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed across 5 distinct examiners, meaning every pending matter is being reviewed by a different individual. Furthermore, these matters are spread across 3 distinct art units, indicating that the portfolio touches upon several different technical specialties within the semiconductor field. This variety requires a flexible approach to prosecution across the 3 distinct art units.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is MCCALISTER, WILLIAM M, who is currently handling 1 pending office action. Given that there are 5 distinct examiners for 5 total actions, the workload is spread individually across the patent office staff. Practitioners should be prepared to address the specific preferences of 5 different examiners while navigating the requirements of the 3 distinct art units involved in these cases.
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 | 1 (17%) |
| §112 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (67%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
