Santak Electronic (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd. currently has 2 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are split across 2 distinct art units, suggesting that even with a small number of 2 pending office actions, the company's technical interests are diverse enough to trigger review by different specialized groups. The prosecution is being handled by 2 distinct examiners, ensuring a unique perspective for each case.
MOURAD, RASEM is identified as the busiest examiner, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. Since there are 2 distinct examiners for the 2 pending office actions, the workload is distributed, and no single examiner has a dominant role in the portfolio. For practitioners, this distribution across 2 distinct art units and 2 distinct examiners means that the company must manage two separate prosecution tracks, each with its own examiner and technical group requirements.
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 |
|---|---|
| §102 only | 1 (50%) |
