Shindengen Electric Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has 4 pending office actions currently active in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are spread across 4 distinct examiners, which suggests a diverse range of perspectives from the patent office despite the concentrated technology focus. The portfolio involves 2 distinct art units, indicating that the applications are being reviewed by multiple specialized groups within the office.
The busiest examiner identified in the data is NGO, HUNG V, who handles 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because the pending office actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners, no single examiner holds more than 1 busiest examiner pending action. This distribution may require the company to navigate different examiner styles across its 2 distinct art units while managing its interests in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The examiners each manage a portion of the 4 pending office actions.
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.
