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
Infinitum Electric Inc. has 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 3 pending office actions are assigned to 3 distinct examiners, so each pending matter is being reviewed by a different person. This lack of examiner overlap means that the company must address 3 different sets of examiner expectations for the 3 pending office actions.
The portfolio is concentrated in 1 distinct art unit, despite the involvement of 3 distinct examiners. MINKI CHANG is the busiest examiner for the company, currently holding 1 pending office action. This profile suggests that while the current filings are technically similar enough to be in 1 distinct art unit, they are being processed by 3 different individuals. For practitioners, this requires a consistent technical argument within that 1 distinct art unit, while adapting the procedural approach to the 3 distinct examiners who are each handling 1 pending office action in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field.
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 |
|---|---|
| Double-patenting only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
