Ptt Exploration And Production Public Company Limited currently has 2 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 2 pending office actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners, meaning each matter is being reviewed by a different individual. This distribution is mirrored in the organizational structure, as the applications are also spread across 2 distinct art units.
CARLSON, JOSHUA MICHAEL is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently managing 1 pending office action. Since there are 2 distinct examiners, the workload is evenly split, with each examiner responsible for 1 pending office action. This lack of examiner concentration requires the company to manage the 2 pending office actions simultaneously without a unified point of contact for multiple cases.
The presence of 2 distinct art units indicates that the pending applications, while both in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics area, may involve different sub-specialties. For the practitioner, this means that strategies successful with CARLSON, JOSHUA MICHAEL may not necessarily translate to the other examiner involved. Navigating the 2 distinct art units for the current workload suggests a diverse prosecution effort.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.
