Seeqc Inc. is currently managing 2 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 2 actions are split across 2 distinct art units, indicating that the company's semiconductor research is being evaluated by different specialized groups at the USPTO. The pending workload is assigned to 2 distinct examiners, ensuring that each matter receives an independent review.
NGUYEN, LINH V is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, overseeing 1 pending office action. This specific action accounts for half of the 2 total pending office actions currently active for the company. With 2 distinct art units involved, the company's prosecution strategy must be flexible enough to address the requirements of two different USPTO divisions. The involvement of 2 distinct examiners means that the company must maintain separate dialogues for each of its current pending matters.
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.
