Innoscience (Suzhou) Technology Co. Ltd. manages a company patent portfolio in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The portfolio currently features 1 pending office action. This 1 action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, MILLER, ALEXANDER MICHAEL, who is also the busiest examiner with 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because the busiest examiner pending count matches the total pending office actions at 1, there is no distribution of labor across different personnel.
Prosecution activity is confined to 1 distinct art unit, suggesting that the pending matter falls within a narrow technical niche. Because MILLER, ALEXANDER MICHAEL is the only examiner involved, the prosecution strategy can be entirely customized to this individual's specific examination criteria. The outcome of the 1 pending office action currently on record will define the portfolio's success in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics area for this period. With 1 distinct examiner managing the only pending action, practitioners can avoid the complexities of multi-examiner coordination. This low volume of 1 pending office action might indicate a strategic focus on specific core technologies.
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.
