Hangzhou Silicon-Magic Semiconductor Technology Co. Ltd. has 1 pending office action in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This matter is handled by 1 distinct examiner, MAI, ANH D. The active prosecution is situated in 1 distinct art unit, reflecting a focused review of the company's semiconductor innovations. This arrangement allows for a focused examination of the circuits and optics claims within a single administrative group.
The busiest examiner, MAI, ANH D, is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because the total pending office actions count is 1, this examiner is the only official currently reviewing the company's pending workload. This centralization simplifies the management of the company's semiconductor patent applications. The busiest examiner pending count of 1 reflects the lack of examiner variety, meaning the applicant must focus exclusively on the requirements and preferences of this one official.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
