Analysis

Lantao Li currently manages 1 pending office action within the Communications technology area. This single active matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. Such a narrow distribution indicates that the current patent prosecution is highly focused on a specific technical niche. The alignment of 1 examiner across 1 art unit for this action provides a very clear view of the current legal standing.

The busiest examiner for this portfolio is NGUYEN, JOSEPH KHANH, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because the total number of pending actions is 1, this examiner manages the entirety of the current workload. Practitioners should prepare for a prosecution environment where the outcome of the portfolio is determined by a single individual's interpretation of the prior art. The lack of variety in examiners and art units suggests a streamlined but singular point of contact with the patent office.
