Shenzhen Smartsafe Tech Co. Ltd. has 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are spread across 3 distinct art units, reflecting diverse technical applications in the semiconductor field. The portfolio involves 3 distinct examiners, with NGUYEN, TUNG X identified as the busiest examiner holding 1 pending action. The use of three separate examiners across three art units suggests a decentralized approach to their current pending matters.
For a practitioner, the fact that 3 distinct examiners are reviewing 3 pending office actions means that each case requires an individualized approach. While NGUYEN, TUNG X is the busiest examiner, he only manages one of the active matters. The distribution across 3 distinct art units suggests that the company's work is spread across several specialized semiconductor divisions. This requires the legal team to address the specific preferences of three different examiners while navigating different art unit standards. The current prosecution profile shows a balanced workload where no single examiner or art unit holds a majority of the pending cases, requiring consistent attention across the entire semiconductors, circuits, and optics portfolio.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
