Global Technology Inc. has 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 3 actions are assigned to 3 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units. This distribution means that while each action has a different examiner, there is some overlap in the technical divisions reviewing the work. The presence of 3 pending office actions indicates a small but active set of filings in the semiconductor field.
The busiest examiner, VANDERPUYE, KENNETH N, has 1 pending office action, which is consistent with the other 2 examiners. With 3 pending office actions in 2 distinct art units, the company must manage multiple examiners while navigating a relatively narrow technical scope. This structure allows for some consistency in prosecution strategy, as the 3 pending office actions are filtered through only 2 distinct art units. Practitioners should focus on the trends within these 2 distinct art units to manage the 3 pending office actions effectively.
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.
