Savant Systems Inc. is currently navigating 5 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that the company's pending matters are being reviewed by a variety of specialists, with 4 different art units providing oversight for the 5 total actions.
The busiest examiner for the company is WALSH, EMMETT K, who is handling 2 pending office actions. The remaining pending actions are assigned to the other distinct examiners, as the portfolio involves 5 pending office actions and 4 distinct examiners. Because there are 4 distinct examiners in total, the workload is not heavily centralized, although WALSH, EMMETT K manages a larger portion of the pending actions than his colleagues. Practitioners should prepare for diverse examiner interactions across the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector.
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.
