Kochi Prefectural Public University Corporation currently has 2 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The prosecution is split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This structure indicates that each pending matter is being handled by a different official in a different technical division, preventing any consolidation of strategy across the current workload. The use of 2 distinct art units suggests the corporation's innovations are categorized into different semiconductor or optical specialties.
The busiest examiner, CHUNG, ANDREW, is assigned 1 busiest examiner pending action. Since the total number of pending office actions is 2, this examiner's workload represents a portion of the active matters. Practitioners must navigate the distinct procedural styles of 2 distinct examiners, as no individual official dominates the current portfolio activity. The lack of overlap between the examiners means that success in an application may not necessarily provide a roadmap for the other pending matter. Understanding the specific tendencies of CHUNG, ANDREW is essential for managing this specific pending office action.
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.
