Singapore University Of Technology & Design has 1 pending office action in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. This singular focus indicates that the university's current pending prosecution is limited to a very specific technical niche within the semiconductors sector. The presence of only 1 pending office action suggests a highly targeted approach to its current intellectual property filings.
TAVLYKAEV, ROBERT FUATOVICH is the busiest examiner for the portfolio. This examiner is handling 1 pending office action. Because the portfolio consists of only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, the entire prosecution process is currently centralized. For the university, this means that the outcome of its pending work in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics is entirely dependent on the review of TAVLYKAEV, ROBERT FUATOVICH. This concentration requires a prosecution strategy that is closely aligned with the specific expectations of this single examiner and art unit.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 4 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (83%) |
