Icleague Technology Co. Ltd. has 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are spread across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. SHAMSUZZAMAN, MOHAMMED is the busiest examiner, managing 1 busiest examiner pending action. This one-to-one ratio between 3 pending office actions and 3 distinct examiners shows a decentralized prosecution effort.
The involvement of 3 distinct art units suggests that each pending application addresses a different technical niche within the semiconductor field. Because the company works with 3 distinct examiners, it avoids the risk of a single individual's bias impacting the entire portfolio. SHAMSUZZAMAN, MOHAMMED is the busiest examiner despite only holding 1 busiest examiner pending action, illustrating an even workload distribution. This strategy allows the company to explore 3 distinct art units simultaneously. Practitioners should be prepared for varying examination styles across the 3 pending office actions due to the high diversity of assigned personnel.
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 |
|---|---|
| §102 only | 1 (33%) |
