Guangzhou Luxvisions Innovation Technology Limited has 14 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are handled by 14 distinct examiners across 6 distinct art units. This suggests a very broad and diverse prosecution landscape for the company's semiconductor technology, with no overlap between examiners.
RICKEL, ALEX PARK is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action. The fact that 14 different examiners are each handling exactly one action across 6 art units means that the company's current patent strategy is being evaluated by a wide range of individuals. For a practitioner, this distribution implies that there is no single examiner whose tendencies will dominate the portfolio's outcome. Instead, the company must manage 14 separate prosecution tracks. The use of 6 distinct art units indicates that the company's innovations in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics are technically diverse enough to fall under the jurisdiction of several different specialized groups within the patent office.
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 | 8 (62%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (38%) |
