Nkt Hv Cables AB has 13 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters span 6 examiners and 3 art units, indicating examiner concentration within a relatively compact technical footprint. This structure supports coordinated review of recurring issues, while still requiring attention to differences among the three art units.
MAYO III, WILLIAM H is the busiest examiner, with 4 pending actions. Those matters are the clearest opportunity to identify common objections and develop consistent response positions. The other examiner assignments should be reviewed for related claim language and divergent treatment before adopting portfolio-wide amendments.
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 | 8 (62%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (38%) |
