Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
13 pending office actions • 6 art units • 13 examiners • 0 of 13 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 36 patents granted in the last 365 days
Psiquantum Corp. has 13 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters involve 13 distinct examiners and 6 art units, indicating fully distributed examiner assignments within a more concentrated set of technical classifications.
KO, TONY is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. The absence of examiner concentration favors matter-specific response planning. Counsel can use the repeated art-unit context to identify common semiconductor and circuit issues, while preserving arguments tailored to each examiner’s record.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 | 3 (23%) |
| §102 only | 2 (15%) |
| §112 only | 2 (15%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (38%) |
