Analysis

Sensus Spectrum LLC manages 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. Each of these 3 pending office actions is assigned to a different examiner, totaling 3 distinct examiners. The portfolio is also spread across 3 distinct art units, showing a broad technical reach for a small number of actions. This 1-to-1 ratio of actions to examiners and art units indicates that each matter is being treated as a unique technical case.

TRAN, HAI V is the busiest examiner, holding 1 busiest examiner pending action. This distribution means that each of the 3 pending office actions is being handled by a unique examiner in a unique art unit. For the applicant, this requires a prosecution strategy that addresses the specific requirements of 3 distinct art units simultaneously. Despite having only 3 pending office actions, the lack of overlap in examiners and art units suggests a diverse range of semiconductor-related innovations.
