Ses (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. is currently navigating 2 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners, which indicates that each pending matter is being handled by a different individual. Furthermore, the portfolio is active in 2 distinct art units. This distribution across 2 art units suggests that the company's semiconductor innovations are being categorized into different specialized technical silos within the patent office, rather than being concentrated in a single unit.
COTEY, PHILIP L is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently overseeing 1 of the pending office actions. Since there are 2 pending office actions in total, this examiner is responsible for a portion of the company's current workload in this sector. The involvement of 2 distinct examiners across 2 art units for only 2 pending actions shows a high degree of fragmentation for such a small portfolio. Practitioners should prepare for distinct prosecution styles from both COTEY, PHILIP L and the other involved examiner. Successfully managing these 2 pending office actions will require addressing the specific technical standards of the different art units involved in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field.
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.
