Radux Devices LLC currently has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 2 actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, so each case has its own dedicated reviewer. Both pending office actions are located within 1 distinct art unit, indicating a specific technical focus for the company's current filings.
GASSEN, CHRISTOPHER J is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently managing 1 pending office action. This 1 action is the maximum number of cases assigned to any one examiner in this set. Because there are 2 distinct examiners for only 2 pending office actions, practitioners should expect to navigate two different examination approaches within the same 1 distinct art unit. This structure means that the 2 pending office actions will be subjected to individual scrutiny by 2 distinct examiners, despite their shared technical classification. The 1 pending office action under GASSEN, CHRISTOPHER J represents one of the 2 active cases in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector.
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.
