Red Oak Innovations Limited holds 5 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are assigned to 5 distinct examiners across 3 distinct art units. This high ratio of examiners to pending actions indicates that every current case is being reviewed by a different individual. The busiest examiner is TRUONG, BAO Q, who is responsible for 1 pending office action.
With 5 distinct examiners involved, practitioners cannot rely on a single point of contact or a uniform examination style. The 3 distinct art units suggest that the technical subject matter is distributed across several specialized groups at the USPTO. Practitioners must manage the 5 pending office actions with a case-by-case approach, as the examiners may have varying interpretations of the prior art. The involvement of 3 distinct art units further necessitates a strategy that accounts for the specific procedural nuances of each unit. Successfully navigating these 5 pending office actions will require a detailed understanding of each examiner's individual prosecution history.
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 | 1 (20%) |
| §112 only | 1 (20%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (20%) |
