3 pending office actions • 1 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 4 patents granted in the last 365 days
Ignion S L is currently prosecuting 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These are distributed among 3 distinct examiners. All pending actions are concentrated within 1 distinct art unit. The busiest examiner is LEE, SEUNG H, who is currently handling 1 pending office action.
With the distinct examiners each managing a portion of the workload, the company must address separate sets of examiner feedback within the same art unit. This requires a coordinated approach to ensure consistency in technical arguments across the applications. The focus on the distinct art unit suggests a technical footprint in the semiconductor space. Managing the pending office actions across the distinct examiners within the art unit allows the company to gain multiple perspectives on how the art unit interprets its technology. This can be a strategic advantage, as the insights gained from an examiner can inform the responses sent to others.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
