Jenoptik Optical Systems GmbH is managing a patent portfolio in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area with 3 pending office actions. These actions are spread across 3 distinct examiners. Furthermore, the prosecution is taking place in 3 distinct art units, showing a high level of diversification in how the patent office is reviewing the company's technology. This distribution suggests that the company's filings cover a broad range of technical sub-specialties within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector.
KIANNI, KAVEH C is identified as the busiest examiner, with 1 busiest examiner pending action. Since there are 3 pending office actions and 3 distinct examiners, each examiner is responsible for exactly 1 matter. This 1-to-1 ratio between actions and examiners across 3 distinct art units indicates that the company is navigating three separate prosecution tracks. The lack of overlap suggests that the outcomes of these actions may be independent of one another, requiring distinct strategies for each examiner involved.
The fact that 3 pending office actions are being handled by 3 different examiners in 3 different art units means that the company must manage three separate administrative paths. Practitioners should be prepared for varied examination styles and potentially different prior art landscapes. The diversification across 3 distinct art units within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics area highlights the technical breadth of the company's active patent applications.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (67%) |
| §102 only | 1 (33%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
