HiViz, LLC operates a company patent portfolio in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The portfolio currently features 2 pending office actions. These 2 actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, ensuring that each pending application is reviewed by a different individual. This structure allows for independent assessments of the company's lighting innovations.
All 2 pending office actions are located within 1 distinct art unit. This concentration in 1 art unit despite having 2 distinct examiners suggests a very specific technical focus for the company's current patent applications. Practitioners should note that while the examiners differ, they are both operating within the same art unit environment. Consistency in arguments is important when dealing with 2 examiners in the same 1 art unit.
GYLLSTROM, BRYON T is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently handling 1 pending office action. Because there are 2 distinct examiners for the 2 pending office actions, the workload is evenly distributed. GYLLSTROM, BRYON T and the other examiner each manage 1 pending action, providing a balanced workload within the 1 art unit. This distribution ensures that the company's semiconductor applications are not subject to the backlog of a single examiner.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
