3 pending office actions • 1 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 24 patents granted in the last 365 days
John Mezzalingua Associates Inc. is managing 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed between 2 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is responsible for one case. Both of the 2 pending office actions are located within 1 distinct art unit, indicating a concentrated technical focus. This concentration in 1 distinct art unit suggests that the company's semiconductor innovations are being reviewed by a single specialized group at the USPTO.
KRYCINSKI, STANTON L is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action. This is consistent with the 2 distinct examiners each handling one of the 2 pending office actions. The involvement of 1 distinct art unit for both of the 2 pending office actions means that the company's prosecution strategy can be highly focused on the standards of that specific technical division. Despite the involvement of 2 distinct examiners, the shared 1 distinct art unit provides a consistent technical framework for the company's semiconductor and optics applications.
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%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
