Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Kanomax Fmt Inc. currently manages 2 pending office actions, 2 distinct examiners, and 2 distinct art units within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This distribution results in an allocation of 1 case per official. The workload being spread across these 2 distinct art units indicates that the technical subject matter is classified into different specialized groups within the patent office. Practitioners should note that this arrangement requires monitoring multiple examination environments simultaneously.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is KOLB, NATHANIEL J, who is responsible for 1 of the pending actions. This represents a portion of the total pending office actions for the company. Because the cases are handled by distinct examiners, there is no concentration of work with an individual beyond the action assigned to the busiest examiner. This distribution requires the applicant to manage multiple sets of requirements and examiner preferences. The presence of 2 distinct examiners ensures that the outcome of the portfolio is not dependent on a single perspective.
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.
