Guangxi University has 4 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters involve 4 distinct examiners across 3 distinct art units, so the portfolio includes multiple examiner relationships with some art-unit concentration. That structure calls for coordinated oversight while preserving matter-specific prosecution positions.
HINZE, LEO T is the busiest examiner with 1 pending matter. Counsel should monitor consistency in semiconductor terminology and technical explanations across the matters, while tailoring amendments and arguments to each examiner’s cited art and assigned unit.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (33%) |
| §102 only | 1 (33%) |
| §112 only | 1 (33%) |
