Lite-On Technology Corporation is currently managing 5 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 5 actions are distributed among 5 distinct examiners, indicating that each case is being reviewed by a different individual at the patent office. The portfolio's activity spans 3 distinct art units, which suggests that the company's semiconductor and optical innovations are being evaluated across several specialized technical groups.
The busiest examiner, CHUNG, MONG-SHUNE, is responsible for 1 pending office action, reflecting the even distribution of the 5 total pending actions across the 5 distinct examiners. Because each examiner is only handling one case, the company's prosecution success is not overly dependent on any single individual's perspective. The 3 distinct art units involved mean that practitioners must be familiar with a variety of technical standards. Successfully navigating these 5 pending office actions will require a versatile strategy that addresses the unique requirements of each of the 5 examiners.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (20%) |
| §103 only | 3 (60%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (20%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
