INANOBIO, INC. is dealing with 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This distribution suggests that the company's semiconductor related filings are being reviewed in different specialized sections of the office. The separation into different units indicates that the technologies being patented are distinct enough to require different technical oversight.
BODNAR, JOHN A is the busiest examiner with 1 busiest_examiner_pending action. With 2 pending office actions in total, the workload is shared between the two examiners. The use of 2 distinct art units indicates that the underlying technology may involve different aspects of circuits or optics that require separate administrative oversight. For the legal team, this means managing two separate prosecution tracks, each with its own examiner and art unit standards. This structure requires a focus on the specific requirements of each 1 distinct art unit involved in the company's current semiconductor patenting efforts.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §112 only | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
