16 pending office actions • 8 art units • 10 examiners • 0 of 16 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 55 patents granted in the last 365 days
LS Electric Co., Ltd. has 17 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The portfolio spans 10 distinct examiners and 8 distinct art units, indicating recurring examiner and technical-unit involvement. The distribution calls for centralized coordination, especially where related technologies or claim strategies appear across applications.
BOLTON, WILLIAM A is the busiest examiner, with 7 pending matters. This is the principal examiner concentration identified in the data. Counsel should review those 7 matters as a group for consistent responses and distinguish that examiner's practice from the positions encountered in the other assignments.
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 | 5 (31%) |
| §102 only | 2 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (56%) |
