Hlj Technology Co. Ltd. holds a company patent portfolio in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The data indicates 1 pending office action currently active in the system. This action is being reviewed by 1 distinct examiner, which shows a singular focus for the company's current prosecution efforts. All activity is concentrated within 1 distinct art unit, suggesting that the pending application falls within a specific technical category of semiconductors and optics.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is ZHANG, YUANDA, who is assigned 1 busiest examiner pending action. This single action accounts for the entire pending workload for the company at this time. Since there is 1 distinct examiner, the company's current experience with the USPTO is limited to the feedback and requirements of ZHANG, YUANDA. This creates a centralized prosecution environment where the outcome of the 1 pending office action is the primary focus for the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics portfolio.
Practitioners should observe that the 1:1 ratio of pending actions to distinct examiners means there is no internal comparison available for examiner behavior. The 1 distinct art unit involved indicates that the prosecution is not currently spread across different technical divisions. Consequently, the 1 busiest examiner pending action handled by ZHANG, YUANDA represents the total scope of the company's immediate semiconductor-related patent challenges.
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.
