LAPIS Technology Co., Ltd. has 4 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. Those matters involve 4 examiners and 4 art units, so the portfolio is distributed across separate examination assignments.
CRUZ, MAGDA is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. Because no examiner handles more than the stated single action, prosecution planning should account for separate examiner interactions rather than a consolidated response strategy.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 3 (43%) |
| §102 only | 2 (29%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (29%) |
