Lite-On Technology Corporation has 17 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The portfolio spans 17 distinct examiners and 14 distinct art units, indicating that every matter has a separate examiner while several matters share art-unit settings.
GBLENDE, JEFFREY A is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should rely on consistent portfolio controls while adapting arguments and amendment practice to the individual examiner relationships.
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 | 4 (27%) |
| §102 only | 3 (20%) |
| §112 only | 1 (7%) |
