Elite Semiconductor Microelectronics Technology Inc. is prosecuting 2 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These 2 pending office actions are distributed across 2 distinct art units, which suggests that the company's current patent applications involve different technical sub-specialties within the communications field. Practitioners must be prepared to navigate the different examination styles and procedural requirements of the 2 distinct art units. Success in these matters depends on addressing the unique technical standards prevalent in each of these units.
The prosecution effort is split between 2 distinct examiners, meaning that each pending case is being reviewed by a different official. TRAN, CON P is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently handling 1 pending office action. Because there are 2 distinct examiners involved in the 2 pending office actions, there is no centralization of the examination process. Practitioners must develop separate advocacy strategies for each matter to account for the individual preferences of TRAN, CON P and the other assigned examiner. Effectively managing the 2 pending office actions requires a high degree of coordination to resolve the 1 pending office action assigned to the busiest examiner.
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.
