1 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 1 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
As a company patent portfolio, Shanghai Analog Circuit Technology Co. Ltd. currently has 1 pending office action in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This matter is being handled by 1 distinct examiner, FERNANDES, ERROL V, who is the busiest examiner for the portfolio with 1 pending office action. The prosecution is confined to 1 distinct art unit, suggesting a very specific technical focus for the company's current patent activities.
The presence of 1 pending office action under the supervision of 1 distinct examiner means that the company's entire active USPTO presence is concentrated in a single relationship. Because the work is limited to 1 distinct art unit, there is no complexity arising from different examination standards across multiple units. Practitioners should focus on the specific feedback from FERNANDES, ERROL V to resolve the 1 pending office action. This streamlined prosecution profile allows for a targeted strategy without the need to manage multiple examiner timelines or conflicting procedural demands from various art units.
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.
