Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
4 pending office actions • 1 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Jiangxi Ofilm Optical Co. Ltd. has 4 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 4 actions are assigned to 4 distinct examiners, meaning no examiner is currently handling more than one matter for the company. This spread requires the applicant to navigate four different individual examiner perspectives simultaneously. The distribution of 4 distinct examiners for the 4 pending office actions ensures a variety of viewpoints across the portfolio.
All 4 pending office actions are concentrated within 1 distinct art unit. This suggests that while the examiners are different, they all operate within the same administrative and technical group. Jie Lei is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending office action. This 1 action represents a portion of the total workload within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics area. The concentration in 1 distinct art unit indicates a consistent technical focus for these filings.
The combination of 4 distinct examiners in 1 distinct art unit means the company must address a consistent set of art unit policies while managing the individual nuances of different officials. This scenario requires a coordinated prosecution strategy to ensure consistency across the 4 pending office actions within the same technical division. Practitioners should focus on the specific standards of the 1 distinct art unit while preparing for the individual requirements of Jie Lei and the other examiners involved.
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 | 3 (75%) |
