General Interface Solution Limited maintains a portfolio with 5 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These cases are distributed among 5 distinct examiners, indicating that each pending matter is being handled by a different individual. This distribution requires a broad strategy to manage various examiner styles and requirements simultaneously. The workload is spread across 3 distinct art units, which suggests the company's technical focus is somewhat varied within its primary technology area.
The busiest examiner for the company is WASHINGTON, TAMARA Y, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending case. Despite the total number of pending office actions, no single examiner is handling multiple cases. This parity among the distinct examiners means that the company must engage with multiple perspectives across the 3 distinct art units. Managing the pending office actions across this many individuals requires careful coordination to ensure consistency in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics filings.
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 (40%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (60%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
