3 pending office actions • 3 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
Hd Microsystems Ltd. currently faces 3 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The portfolio's active matters are distributed across 3 distinct art units, showing a diverse range of technical classifications for the pending applications. This distribution is matched by the involvement of 3 distinct examiners, meaning each pending office action is being handled by a different individual. This distribution of examiners and art units suggests that the company's current prosecution is spread across specialized chemical fields.
The busiest examiner for the company is LISTVOYB, GREGORY, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Because the 3 pending office actions are spread across 3 distinct examiners, no 1 examiner controls the current workload. Practitioners must manage 3 distinct examiners to resolve the matters currently identified in the portfolio data. This decentralized structure requires a coordinated effort to ensure consistent arguments are made across the 3 distinct art units involved.
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.
