Jena-Optronik GmbH is managing 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 3 actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This one-to-one ratio between actions, examiners, and art units indicates that each pending matter is being handled by a different individual in a different technical division.
Thanh X Luu is the busiest examiner, overseeing 1 pending office action. With 3 pending office actions in 3 distinct art units, the company must manage its prosecution strategy across three separate specialized groups. The involvement of 3 distinct examiners means the company is receiving feedback from three different perspectives within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field. Each of the 3 distinct examiners is responsible for 1 pending office action, requiring the company to address three separate sets of examiner feedback to advance its 3 pending office actions. This spread across 3 distinct art units necessitates a broad technical approach to prosecution.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (33%) |
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
