Genius Electronic Optical (Xiamen) Co., Ltd. has 11 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. Those matters involve 8 distinct examiners but remain within 1 art unit, indicating examiner-level variation inside a common technical examination setting.
HUANG, WEN is the busiest examiner, with 3 pending matters. The remaining prosecution activity is distributed among other examiners, so response planning should preserve a consistent technical position while accounting for potentially different examination treatments across the docket.
The art-unit concentration may support a coordinated review of recurring claim language, cited prior art, and amendment choices. At the same time, the examiner distribution makes matter-specific review important, particularly for applications assigned to HUANG, WEN.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 | 6 (60%) |
| §102 only | 3 (30%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (10%) |
