S D Sight Diagnostics Ltd. is managing 5 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These actions are distributed among 5 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. The use of 3 art units for 5 pending actions indicates that the company's communications technology spans several related technical classifications within the office.
TSAI, TSUNG YIN is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. With 5 distinct examiners involved for 5 pending actions, each application is receiving an independent review. This provides the company with a broad range of examiner feedback, as no two pending matters are being handled by the same individual. This distribution helps to diversify the prosecution risk across the portfolio.
The presence of 5 pending office actions across 3 distinct art units suggests a concentrated but multi-faceted approach to its communications-related patent filings. By engaging with 5 different examiners, the company can explore various claim strategies and interpretations. This broad exposure across 5 examiners and 3 art units ensures that the company's patent prosecution is not overly dependent on any single examiner's decision.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
