Panelsemi Corporation manages an active portfolio in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics featuring 9 pending office actions. These matters are distributed across 9 distinct examiners, ensuring that no individual examiner has an outsized influence on the company's overall prosecution outcomes. This high ratio of examiners to actions suggests a diverse range of technical applications within the semiconductor field.
The portfolio's reach extends across 6 distinct art units, indicating significant technical breadth within the USPTO's classification system. MISHLER, ROBIN J is the busiest examiner, yet this individual handles only 1 busiest examiner pending action. This distribution highlights a prosecution environment where the applicant must manage 9 separate examiner relationships across 6 different technical groups, requiring a versatile approach to addressing office actions. Such a fragmented landscape necessitates careful coordination to maintain consistency across the various semiconductor technologies being patented.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 3 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (67%) |
