Hangzhou Hfc Semiconductor Co. has 4 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units.
The busiest examiner is PROSTOR, ANDREW VICTOR, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. With 4 examiners handling 4 pending actions, the portfolio's prosecution is spread across multiple individuals, though the concentration in 3 art units suggests some technical overlap in the subject matter being reviewed.
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 | 2 (67%) |
