Nkt Hv Cables AB maintains a portfolio with 16 pending office actions, primarily situated in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed across 5 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This distribution indicates a range of technical examinations within the specified field.
The busiest examiner for this company is NGUYEN, CHAU N, who is responsible for 7 busiest examiner pending actions. This examiner handles a portion of the 16 pending office actions. The remaining actions are spread among the other 5 distinct examiners.
The presence of 3 distinct art units suggests that while the technology area is Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics, the specific applications of the cables fall under different classification sub-groups. Practitioners should monitor the 7 actions under NGUYEN, CHAU N closely, as this examiner's decisions will influence the overall success rate of the pending office actions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (50%) |
