Incheon National University Research & Business Foundation has 1 pending office action in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner. Prosecution is currently limited to 1 distinct art unit. This focus suggests that the foundation is currently prioritizing a specific technological advancement within the semiconductor field.
KIM, JEANNE MYON is the busiest examiner for the foundation, overseeing 1 pending office action. Because there is only 1 pending action in total, this examiner handles the entire active workload for the portfolio within the specified technology area. For a patent practitioner, this concentration simplifies the management of the portfolio, as there is only 1 examiner and 1 art unit to monitor. However, it also means that the success of the current prosecution efforts depends on the outcome of this 1 pending matter and the specific requirements of the assigned 1 art unit.
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.
