Linxens Holding currently manages 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 3 actions are spread across 3 distinct art units, showing that each of their electronic-related matters falls into a different technical classification. The company is working with 3 distinct examiners, so each pending action is being handled by a different person. This distribution suggests a fragmented prosecution environment for such a small number of active cases.
SUEZU Y ELLIS is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending office action currently under review. This reflects an even distribution of the 3 pending actions across the 3 distinct examiners. The fact that 3 actions are distributed across 3 distinct art units and 3 examiners requires the company to manage different examiner preferences and technical classifications simultaneously. Practitioners should note that the busiest examiner handles 1 of the active matters, which is consistent with the overall distribution of the portfolio. The focus on Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics ensures that the prosecution remains within a specific technical framework. With 3 pending office actions, the company maintains a targeted presence in its chosen field.
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 | 1 (33%) |
| §112 only | 1 (33%) |
