Maranon Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This suggests that the 2 pending applications fall into different technical sub-categories within the semiconductors field, requiring independent prosecution strategies for each matter.
CROCKETT, RYAN M is the busiest examiner, currently handling 1 pending office action. Because each action is in a different art unit with a different examiner, practitioners must navigate two separate sets of examiner expectations. Success will require a tailored approach for each of the 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units involved in the current workload.
The lack of overlap between the 2 distinct examiners means that prosecution progress in one matter may not necessarily predict the results of the other. With 2 distinct art units involved, the applications are subject to different sets of examination guidelines and technical standards. Practitioners should prioritize understanding the specific requirements of each unit to move these 2 pending office actions toward a successful outcome.
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.
