7 pending office actions • 1 art units • 7 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 11 patents granted in the last 365 days
Jcet Group Co. Ltd. currently has 8 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are assigned to 8 distinct examiners, meaning that each pending action is being reviewed by a different individual. However, these examiners are concentrated within 2 distinct art units, indicating that while the individual reviewers vary, the technical focus remains within a narrow administrative range.
The busiest examiner, WINTERS, SEAN AYERS, is responsible for 1 pending office action. Given that there are 8 pending office actions and 8 distinct examiners, the workload is distributed across the assigned staff. This structure requires the company to manage the 8 distinct examiners simultaneously within 2 distinct art units. This suggests that the company's semiconductor and optics innovations are technically similar enough to be grouped together, yet require a team to process the 8 pending office actions.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (29%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (71%) |
