1 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 1 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Robert Hurst is currently managing 1 pending office action in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, representing a very focused prosecution effort for the current semiconductor-related filings. For a practitioner, this concentration means that the current legal strategy is focused on a single administrative path within the patent office, which can lead to consistent feedback but also creates a single point of review.
The busiest examiner, LEE, JONG SUK, is responsible for 1 pending office action. This single action constitutes the total pending office action workload for the portfolio, meaning the current prosecution outcomes are entirely dependent on this one examiner's review. Because there is only 1 distinct examiner involved, the company does not currently face the challenge of reconciling different examiner styles or conflicting requirements across multiple art units.
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.
