Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Innovation Semiconductor has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions involve 2 distinct examiners and are located within 2 distinct art units. The distribution of 2 pending office actions across multiple examiners and units indicates that the company's current patent activity covers different technical aspects of the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector, requiring independent management of each filing.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is DINKE, BITEW A, who is currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending action. With the 2 pending office actions divided equally between 2 distinct examiners, the company faces two independent review processes. This requires a strategy that accounts for the specific requirements of DINKE, BITEW A and the other examiner across the 2 distinct art units. Resolving the 2 pending office actions will depend on successfully addressing the unique technical issues raised in each separate examination within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field.
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.
