Analysis

Enatel has 4 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters involve 4 examiners across 3 art units, so each action has a distinct examiner while one art unit contains more than one matter.

EDWARDS, ANTHONY Q is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The docket therefore offers little examiner-specific repetition. Counsel should coordinate semiconductor and circuit terminology across the three art units while tailoring responses to each examiner.
