Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Nippon Mektron Ltd. maintains a company patent portfolio in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The portfolio has 2 pending office actions. These 2 pending office actions are being handled by 2 distinct examiners, which splits the current pending workload between 2 different reviewers. This arrangement ensures that each of the 2 pending office actions is evaluated independently by a different examiner.
Prosecution activity is confined to 1 distinct art unit. DINH, TUAN T is the busiest examiner, holding 1 busiest examiner pending office action. The presence of 2 pending office actions across 2 distinct examiners and 1 distinct art unit shows a singular technical focus with varied examiner reviews. This concentration in 1 distinct art unit indicates a focused technical direction for the company's current patent filings in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field. However, having 2 distinct examiners means the company must still navigate 2 different individual examination styles. With 2 pending office actions in total, the company's prosecution strategy is focused on 1 distinct art unit but remains subject to the review of 2 distinct examiners.
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.

| §102 only | 1 (50%) |
