Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics

ND-HI TECHNOLOGIES LAB, INC. is currently managing a portfolio within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The company has 2 pending office actions distributed across 2 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that the pending matters are not concentrated in a single specialized group but are instead being reviewed by different technical sections of the patent office. Practitioners should prepare for diverse procedural requirements as each art unit may have specific internal guidelines or trends that affect the 2 pending office actions.
The prosecution effort involves 2 distinct examiners, reflecting a situation where each pending matter is assigned to a different official. Among these, TRAN, TRANG Q is identified as the busiest examiner for this portfolio. This individual is currently responsible for 1 pending office action. For a practitioner, this suggests a prosecution landscape where each matter requires engagement with a different examiner. Because the 2 pending office actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners, there is no opportunity to leverage a single examiner's perspective across multiple cases. Strategies must be tailored to the specific preferences of TRAN, TRANG Q and the other assigned official to navigate the 1 pending office action effectively.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
