Technology areas: Computing & Software • Networking & Security • Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
4 pending office actions • 4 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Operation Technology Inc. has 4 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units. This one-to-one ratio indicates that each pending matter is being handled by a different examiner in a different art unit, reflecting a highly decentralized prosecution landscape for the company's semiconductor filings. This requires a unique strategy for each individual case.
ROSARIO BENITEZ, GUSTAVO A is the busiest examiner, handling 1 pending office action. With 4 total pending actions, the workload is split evenly among the 4 distinct examiners. This requires the company to manage four separate prosecution tracks within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector. The lack of concentration among examiners or art units suggests that the company's current patent efforts are spread across different specialized aspects of semiconductor technology, necessitating a broad management approach for its intellectual property.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (25%) |
| §103 only | 2 (50%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (25%) |
