Quarkstar LLC has 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, including LUONG, HENRY T. The portfolio is also spread across 3 distinct art units. LUONG, HENRY T is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action. This examiner handles 1 of the 3 pending office actions for the company.
The 3 pending office actions are distributed with 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units involved. This distribution suggests that each of the company's current semiconductor or optical filings is being treated as a distinct technical matter. LUONG, HENRY T, with 1 pending action, manages the same workload as the other distinct examiners. A practitioner must coordinate with 3 distinct art units for these 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area.
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 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
