Hangzhou Silan Microelectronics Co. Ltd. is currently managing 1 pending office action within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, which indicates a focused prosecution effort for the company's active patent application. The data also shows 1 distinct art unit, suggesting that the current workload is concentrated within a single technical group at the patent office.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is CHANG, DANIEL D, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. This figure accounts for the total volume of 1 pending office action for the company. Because the prosecution involves only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, the process is highly centralized. Practitioners should focus on the specific tendencies and requirements of this examiner within the semiconductors and circuits field. The current state of the portfolio reflects a narrow but clear prosecution path for the company's intellectual property in this technology area.
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.
