Hirose Electric Co., Ltd. has 3 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters involve 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, showing separate examiner assignments with some art-unit concentration.
NGUYEN, TRUC T is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Each file should be tracked separately, while shared art-unit treatment may help identify recurring examination considerations.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §112 only | 2 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
