Position Imaging Inc. currently faces 5 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 5 actions are being reviewed by 5 distinct examiners, which means each case is handled by a different individual. This distribution suggests a variety of technical focuses within the company's semiconductor filings.
The portfolio is spread across 5 distinct art units. This 1:1 ratio of art units to pending actions indicates that each of the 5 pending office actions falls into a different technical classification. Saleh, Zaid Muhammad is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action, matching the workload of the other four examiners.
The presence of 5 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units for only 5 pending office actions represents a high degree of fragmentation. There is no overlap in examiners or art units, meaning each of the 5 pending office actions requires a completely unique prosecution approach. Practitioners must research the specific trends of all 5 art units and the history of Saleh and the other examiners.
Because there is no concentration in the portfolio, the legal team cannot rely on a single set of precedents. Each of the 5 pending office actions must be treated as an independent project. The strategy should be tailored to the specific examiner, such as Saleh, Zaid Muhammad, and the unique requirements of their respective art unit.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (20%) |
| §103 only | 1 (20%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (40%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (20%) |
