Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Luxisens Technologies B V currently has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are being handled by 2 distinct examiners within a distinct art unit. TRAN M. TRAN is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action, illustrating a scenario where multiple examiners are working within the same art unit for this portfolio. Coordination within that single art unit is central to the company's prosecution strategy.
The presence of the distinct examiners in a distinct art unit suggests that while the technology is focused within a specific USPTO group, it is being reviewed from multiple perspectives. With the 2 pending office actions, the company can compare how different examiners within the same art unit interpret the same Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics prior art. TRAN M. TRAN handles 1 pending action, meaning the workload is evenly distributed. Practitioners should look for consistency in the art unit's general approach while tailoring specific arguments to the individual preferences of each assigned examiner.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
