The pending office action is currently under the review of KIM, PETER B, who holds 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because the portfolio is active in only a distinct art unit, the prosecution is highly localized within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics division. This concentration means the company's current patent efforts are focused on a technical review path and an examiner's discretion. This focus allows for direct management of the company's intellectual property interests.
