10 pending office actions • 6 art units • 10 examiners • 0 of 10 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 45 patents granted in the last 365 days
Guangzhou China Star Optoelectronics Semiconductor Display Technology Co. Ltd. operates within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The company currently faces 10 pending office actions. These matters are spread across 6 distinct art units, indicating that the company's semiconductor innovations are subject to review by several different specialized groups. This variety in art units suggests that the portfolio covers a range of technical applications within the optics field.
The prosecution involves 10 distinct examiners, which means each of the 10 pending office actions is being handled by a different individual. RAABE, CHRISTOPHER M is identified as the busiest examiner for this applicant. This examiner is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because the busiest examiner handles only 1 action, the company's prosecution efforts are not concentrated under any single official's discretion.
With 6 distinct art units and 10 distinct examiners, the portfolio is subject to a broad range of examination styles. RAABE, CHRISTOPHER M's 1 pending office action represents a small fraction of the total workload. Practitioners should prepare for diverse feedback across the 6 distinct art units assigned to these cases.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 | 3 (30%) |
| §102 only | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (60%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
