Lipac Co. Ltd. has 2 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters involve 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. RAHLL, JERRY T is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Examination is distributed across separate technical and examiner assignments.
Counsel should coordinate the underlying circuit, semiconductor, or optical terminology while preparing examiner-specific responses. The separate art units may frame the prior-art analysis differently, so claim amendments should be tied to the limitations actually disputed in each matter. A portfolio review can identify overlapping disclosures and prevent inconsistent positions. At the same time, the examiner distribution means that interview strategy, argument emphasis, and amendment scope should be determined from each individual office-action record.
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 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
