Plugshare LLC is currently managing 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners, which shows that each active matter is being reviewed by a different individual. This distribution indicates a decentralized prosecution environment for the company's current filings.
The portfolio is assigned to 2 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's innovations in semiconductors and optics are categorized into two separate technical areas. BARNETT, JOEL is the busiest examiner for the company, currently handling 1 pending office action. Since both of the 2 distinct examiners are responsible for 1 pending office action each, the company's 2 pending office actions are split evenly between them. The presence of 2 pending office actions across 2 distinct art units means that each application is being evaluated by a different examiner within a different technical group, requiring a tailored approach for each matter.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
