Hyperfine Inc. manages 6 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are concentrated within 2 distinct art units, suggesting a focused technical scope. The portfolio involves 6 distinct examiners, which means that each pending action is being reviewed by a unique official. The concentration of 6 pending office actions in only 2 distinct art units indicates that the company is likely dealing with a consistent set of examination standards.
KOPPOLU, VAISALI RAO is the busiest examiner for the company, currently responsible for 1 pending office action. Because the 6 pending actions are distributed among many examiners, the workload is perfectly dispersed. This lack of concentration across the 6 total pending office actions ensures that no single examiner's specific tendencies will dominate the prosecution outcomes. Practitioners can approach each of the pending office actions as an independent case within the 2 distinct art units involved.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (33%) |
| §103 only | 2 (33%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (17%) |
