Savfe Co. Ltd. has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and are located in multiple art units. This arrangement indicates that each of the company's active matters is being reviewed by a different examiner in a different technical group, preventing any concentration of prosecution under a single authority.
MICHAEL CASEY BRYANT is the busiest examiner for Savfe Co. Ltd., with 1 pending office action. Since there are pending office actions and 2 distinct examiners, the workload is split evenly between them. The use of distinct art units suggests that the company's semiconductor and optics innovations are being evaluated by separate specialized units within the patent office. This requires a prosecution strategy that can adapt to the specific requirements of different examiners and art units. With pending office actions spread across distinct examiners, the company maintains a diverse presence in the semiconductor field.
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.
