Optisys Inc. currently has 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 3 actions are assigned to 3 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is reviewing 1 application. The portfolio is also spread across 2 distinct art units, indicating some technical variety within the company's semiconductor and optics filings.
The busiest examiner, LEE, BENNY T, is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. With 3 pending office actions split among 3 distinct examiners, there is no concentration of work under any 1 individual. The presence of 2 distinct art units for 3 pending actions shows that the company's research is being evaluated by more than 1 specialized group within the office. For practitioners, this level of dispersion across both 3 examiners and 2 art units means that prosecution strategies must be individualized for each application. While there is some overlap in art units, the fact that all 3 examiners are distinct means that no 1 person's history will dominate the portfolio's outcome. Practitioners should focus on the specific requirements of the 2 art units while addressing the unique feedback from the 3 different examiners involved in the 3 pending office actions.
