5 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 5 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Platinum Optics Technology Inc. has 5 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are handled by 2 distinct examiners and are located within 1 distinct art unit. This represents a concentration of the company's current prosecution work within a technical group at the patent office. Focusing the 5 pending office actions in 1 distinct art unit allows for a specialized technical dialogue during the examination process.
SIPES, JOHN CURTIS is the busiest examiner for the company. This examiner is responsible for 4 pending office actions. This level of concentration under a busiest examiner means that the outcome of the 5 pending cases depends heavily on the specific interpretation and feedback of this individual. With 2 distinct examiners for the set of 5 pending actions, the company has a narrow range of examiner interactions to manage. This profile suggests that the company's current semiconductor and optics innovations are focused within the technical scope of 1 distinct art unit.
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.
