Shanghai Zhaoxin Semiconductor Co., Ltd. has 2 pending office actions in Computing & Software. The matters are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, showing that the pending work is split between separate examination channels. Counsel should review each action independently and determine whether any claim language or technical explanation can be used consistently across both matters.
LEWIS-TAYLOR, DAYTON A. is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The examiner handles part of the portfolio’s pending record, while another examiner and art unit handle the remaining matter. Prosecution planning should therefore pair centralized coordination with responses tailored to the particular computing and software issues in each action.
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.
