Largan Digital Co. Ltd. is managing 7 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are concentrated within 2 distinct art units, suggesting a specific technical focus despite the number of applications. The prosecution involves 7 distinct examiners, which means that every pending action is assigned to a different individual.
The busiest examiner, RAKOWSKI, CARA E, is responsible for 1 busiest_examiner_pending action. This indicates that the 7 pending office actions are distributed among the 7 distinct examiners. Although the actions are limited to 2 distinct art units, the company must still navigate the individual preferences of 7 different examiners within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field.
With 7 pending office actions and 7 distinct examiners, the company lacks a single primary point of contact at the examiner level. However, the 2 distinct art units provide administrative consistency for the 7 actions. This combination of 2 art units and 7 examiners requires the company to monitor for consistency across the 7 distinct examiners handling their 7 pending matters.
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 | 1 (14%) |
| Double-patenting only | 3 (43%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (43%) |
