Gelsight Inc. is currently managing 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 3 actions are all contained within 1 distinct art unit, indicating a high degree of technical focus for the company's current patent applications. The portfolio involves 2 distinct examiners, which suggests some variety in the review process despite the technical concentration. With only 1 distinct art unit involved, the technical standards applied to the 3 pending office actions are likely to be consistent.
JONATHAN M HANSEN is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, handling 2 pending office actions. This represents a majority of the company's 3 pending office actions. Because JONATHAN M HANSEN manages most of the current workload, his specific review tendencies will be a primary factor in the portfolio's success. Practitioners should focus on the requirements of this busiest examiner while also addressing the 1 pending office action assigned to the other distinct examiner.
