Graphenea Semiconductor S L U is navigating 2 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This 2 to 2 ratio for examiners and art units suggests that the company's active cases involve different technical sub-specialties. By engaging with 2 different art units, the company is subject to multiple sets of examination standards. For the practitioner, this distribution requires a strategy that accounts for the perspectives of different technical groups within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field.
The busiest examiner is WATTS, JEREMY DANIEL, who is handling 1 pending office action. Since there are 2 pending office actions in total, the workload is divided among the examiners. Each examiner manages 1 action, meaning the portfolio's prosecution is split between the identified personnel. This distribution means the company's outcomes are influenced by the findings of 2 different examiners across 2 separate art units. Strategically, the legal team must monitor how WATTS, JEREMY DANIEL and the other examiner interpret the technical requirements of the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field.
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 | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
