SeeScan Inc. is currently prosecuting matters within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The portfolio includes 2 pending office actions, which are distributed across 2 distinct examiners. This distribution means that each examiner is handling a separate matter, as the busiest examiner, HARRISON, MICHAEL A, is responsible for 1 pending office action. This lack of concentration under a single individual suggests a diversified approach to the company's current filings.
The portfolio is further divided across 2 distinct art units, indicating that the pending office actions involve different technical classifications within the broader technology area. This structure requires the company to navigate different sets of art unit standards and examiner preferences simultaneously. The 2 pending office actions represent distinct paths of inquiry at the USPTO, necessitating a tailored strategy for each matter.
For the practitioner, the involvement of 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units requires managing separate sets of procedural and technical requirements. There is no overlap in the current workload, as each of the matters is being reviewed independently. This arrangement demands careful coordination to ensure that the company's intellectual property goals are met across different administrative divisions.
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.
