Senko Advanced Components Inc. has 6 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters involve 5 distinct examiners across 3 distinct art units, indicating some examiner concentration within a portfolio spread across several technical groups.
CHIEM, DINH D is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That repeated assignment gives counsel a defined opportunity to identify consistent examiner expectations, while the remaining matters still require separate review because they are handled through other examination channels.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §102 only | 1 (17%) |
| §112 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (67%) |
