Koc Universitesi operates a company patent portfolio in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. There are 3 pending office actions currently active. These 3 pending office actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners, ensuring that each pending matter is being reviewed by a different individual. This distribution of 3 pending office actions across 3 distinct examiners allows for multiple perspectives on the company's applications during the prosecution process.
The prosecution activity is spread over 2 distinct art units. WHITE, KIA XIONG is the busiest examiner, responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. With 3 pending office actions and 3 distinct examiners, the company's workload is distributed across multiple individuals. This distribution across 2 distinct art units indicates that the company's Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics research covers multiple technical sub-fields. Having 3 distinct examiners for 3 pending office actions provides the company with multiple points of contact. The involvement of 2 distinct art units means the company must manage prosecution across 2 different technical divisions of the patent office, each with its own examination trends and prior art interpretations.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (67%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
