Primax Electronics Ltd. has 5 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 5 pending office actions are spread across 4 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's applications cover several different technical sub-fields. The portfolio involves 5 distinct examiners, so every pending action is being reviewed by a unique individual, providing a variety of perspectives on the company's semiconductor filings.
BOEHLER, ANNE MARIE M is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending office action. With 5 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units for only 5 pending office actions, the company faces a highly decentralized prosecution environment. Each of the 5 pending office actions must be managed according to the specific requirements of its assigned examiner and art unit. Practitioners should look for commonalities across the 4 distinct art units to help streamline the prosecution of these 5 pending office actions.
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 | 1 (25%) |
