The Institut National Des Sciences Et Industries Du Vivant Et L'Environnement operates within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The portfolio currently has 1 pending office action. This matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, LEE, SHUN K. This concentration indicates that the company's current engagement with the patent office is focused on a specific technical disclosure.
Prosecution is localized within 1 distinct art unit. As the busiest examiner, LEE, SHUN K is responsible for 1 pending office action. This concentration of 1 pending action under 1 examiner and 1 art unit indicates a focused and narrow prosecution footprint at this time. For the practitioner, this means that the outcome of the entire pending portfolio rests on the negotiations within this 1 art unit. The lack of diversity in examiners and 1 art unit suggests that the company is not currently pursuing a broad range of distinct semiconductor technologies simultaneously.
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.
