3 pending office actions • 1 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 7 patents granted in the last 365 days
Innoscience (Suzhou) Semiconductor Co. Ltd. has 2 pending office actions in its portfolio. These matters are assigned to 2 distinct examiners. CAMPBELL, SHAUN M is identified as the busiest examiner, holding 1 pending office action. Since there are 2 pending office actions and distinct examiners, the workload is evenly split, requiring the company to navigate the specific requirements of the different individuals. Each of the 2 pending office actions must be prosecuted independently, as CAMPBELL, SHAUN M only oversees 1 of the matters. This lack of examiner concentration requires a multi-track management approach.
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 |
|---|---|
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (100%) |
