Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
3 pending office actions • 2 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 4 patents granted in the last 365 days
Jmj Korea Co. Ltd. currently has 4 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are assigned to 4 distinct examiners. The prosecution is occurring across 2 distinct art units, which shows technical variety within the company's semiconductor-related filings.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is CRITE, ANTONIO B, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Since there are 4 pending office actions and 4 distinct examiners, each examiner is currently handling exactly one case. The 2 distinct art units indicate that the workload is split between different specialized sections of the patent office. This distribution across 4 distinct examiners provides a variety of perspectives on the applications.
Practitioners should observe that the 4 distinct examiners mean that no single individual has a dominant influence over the portfolio. Because CRITE, ANTONIO B only manages 1 pending action, the risk is spread across the 4 distinct examiners. The 2 distinct art units suggest that the 4 pending office actions are grouped into different technical sub-categories. This spread defines the current prosecution landscape for Jmj Korea Co. Ltd.
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 | 1 (33%) |
| §112 only | 1 (33%) |
