Hefei BOE Optoelectronics Technology Co. Ltd. is currently navigating 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 2 actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, ensuring that each pending application is under the review of a different individual. This distribution prevents any single examiner from having a concentrated impact on the current portfolio.
The prosecution activity is also divided between 2 distinct art units. Having 2 pending office actions in separate art units indicates that the company's current filings are being evaluated under different technical classifications. This requires the company to address the specific standards and prior art landscapes of 2 different specialized groups within the patent office.
BRIGGS, NATHANAEL R is the busiest examiner for the company, responsible for 1 pending office action. Since there are only 2 pending office actions total, this examiner handles a matter of the company's active prosecution. The other pending action is managed by a different examiner in a different art unit, highlighting a diversified but small-scale prosecution effort.
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 | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
