Luxium Solutions LLC manages a company patent portfolio with 2 pending office actions. These matters are located within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The prosecution of these applications involves 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This distribution suggests that the company's current filings cover different technical sub-specialties within the broader optics field.
LEE, SHUN K is identified as the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently handling 1 pending office action. Given that the total number of pending actions is 2, the workload is evenly split between the busiest examiner and one other individual. This requires the applicant to maintain separate prosecution strategies for each distinct examiner involved.
The involvement of 2 distinct art units indicates that the 2 pending office actions are being reviewed by different specialized groups at the USPTO. This diversity in art units may lead to varying examination timelines and requirements. Practitioners should track the progress of both distinct examiners to ensure consistent management of the portfolio's current administrative needs.
