GE Hybrid Technologies LLC currently manages 3 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 3 actions are assigned to 3 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is reviewing a single application. The prosecution activity is spread across 2 distinct art units, indicating some technical breadth within the company's semiconductor and optics filings. This distribution requires practitioners to be aware of the specific standards applied by 2 different specialized groups.
LY, XUAN is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, overseeing 1 pending office action. This is consistent with the other 2 distinct examiners, as the 3 pending actions are distributed one-to-one. For practitioners, the involvement of 3 distinct examiners and 2 art units for only 3 pending actions requires a tailored approach for each case. While there is some concentration in the 2 art units, the lack of examiner overlap means that each of the 3 pending actions will likely follow an independent prosecution path.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (50%) |
| §112 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
