Samsung Electronics has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, indicating that the matters are being reviewed by different individuals. This distribution requires a separate approach for each of the current filings. Such a decentralized prosecution landscape ensures that the company's semiconductor innovations are evaluated by multiple experts within the patent office.
SANG H NGUYEN is the busiest examiner for the company, handling 1 pending office action. The actions are also distributed across distinct art units. For a practitioner, this means there is no overlap between the examiners or the art units for the 2 pending office actions currently under review. This requires a versatile strategy to navigate the unique requirements of each examiner and the specific standards of each assigned department.
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.
