Evident Corporation is currently navigating 6 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are distributed across 6 distinct examiners, indicating a broad range of individual scrutiny for the company's current applications. The portfolio spans 3 distinct art units, which indicates that the company's semiconductor and optics innovations are being reviewed across specialized groups within the patent office. This multi-unit involvement requires a prosecution strategy that accounts for the varying technical standards and examination cultures found in different areas of the USPTO.
Among the active examiners, YANG, JIANXUN is identified as the busiest examiner with 1 busiest examiner pending office action. While this examiner holds a portion of the workload, the fact that multiple examiners are involved suggests a fragmented prosecution landscape where no individual dominates the company's path to allowance. Practitioners must manage diverse examiner preferences across the 3 art units involved to ensure consistency in the semiconductor and circuits portfolio. Monitoring the specific feedback from each of the examiners will be crucial for identifying broader trends in how the company's optics and circuit technologies are being received.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (20%) |
| §103 only | 2 (40%) |
| §112 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (20%) |
