Nidec Precision Corporation has 3 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters are distributed across 3 examiners and 2 art units, showing both examiner diversity and some art-unit variation.
MAHONEY, CHRISTOPHER E is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner has a larger recorded share, so prosecution planning should be handled at the individual matter level rather than built around a dominant examiner relationship.
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 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
