Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics

Meijo University is currently managing 2 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners, which means each application is receiving an independent review from a different individual. Despite this split in personnel, the prosecution is centralized within 1 distinct art unit. This suggests that while the examiners differ, they likely operate under the same technical guidelines and internal art unit policies.
GREEN, TELLY D is the busiest examiner for the university, with 1 busiest examiner pending action currently on his docket. Since there are 2 pending office actions in total, the workload is divided between the 2 distinct examiners. This lack of concentration with a single examiner means that the university's success in this technology area depends on two separate prosecution tracks. However, the focus on 1 distinct art unit may allow for some consistency in the types of prior art cited and the general approach to semiconductor and optics patentability.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
