PlayNitride Display Co., Ltd. is managing 13 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This workload is distributed among 11 distinct examiners across 6 distinct art units. TRAN, TONY is the busiest examiner, currently handling 2 pending office actions. The distribution of 13 actions across 6 art units suggests a broad technical scope within the semiconductor field.
The concentration of pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics area highlights the company's primary focus. With 11 distinct examiners involved, the prosecution strategy appears decentralized across many individuals. However, the presence of 6 distinct art units indicates that the technical subject matter is diverse enough to span multiple specialized groups within the USPTO. TRAN, TONY, as the busiest examiner with 2 pending office actions, represents the only instance of multiple actions being assigned to a single person. This suggests that the remaining actions are spread among the other examiners.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 | 6 (60%) |
| §102 only | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (30%) |
