Jiaxing Super Lighting Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 2 actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, providing different perspectives on the company's applications. Both actions are within 1 distinct art unit, showing a consistent technical focus for the current pending matters. This 2 pending office actions total indicates a targeted approach to securing intellectual property in the lighting sector.
The busiest examiner, TRAN, ANH Q, is managing 1 busiest examiner pending action. This represents a portion of the 2 total pending office actions. The remaining action is handled by the other distinct examiner. Practitioners should be aware that while the 1 distinct art unit provides a common technical framework, they must interact with two different examiners. This requires a strategy that maintains technical consistency across the 1 distinct art unit while being flexible enough to satisfy 2 distinct examiners. The concentration of work in one art unit suggests that the company's technology is well-defined within the semiconductors and optics field. Success will depend on effectively addressing the specific requirements of both TRAN, ANH Q and the other examiner.
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 |
|---|---|
| Double-patenting only | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
