Mr Fill Holding B V is currently managing 2 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed between 2 distinct examiners, meaning each application is being reviewed by a different official. The portfolio also spans 2 distinct art units, which suggests that the company's optical innovations fall into two separate technical categories. This distribution requires the company to manage two distinct prosecution tracks simultaneously.
KAPLAN, HAL IRA is identified as the busiest examiner, with 1 busiest examiner pending action. Given that there are 2 pending office actions in total, the workload is evenly divided between the 2 distinct examiners. This means the company must adapt to two different examination styles and sets of technical requirements. The 1 busiest examiner pending action shows that no single official has a majority share of the company's active cases.
The involvement of 2 distinct art units means the legal strategy must account for the specific practices of two different technical groups. With 2 pending office actions, the company's active workload at the patent office is focused but distributed. Practitioners should be prepared to handle unique feedback from each of the 2 distinct examiners. This profile reflects a targeted approach to securing intellectual property in the semiconductor and optics sector.
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.
