Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
3 pending office actions • 1 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Skeleton Technologies GmbH is managing 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are spread across 3 distinct examiners, with each examiner overseeing 1 pending matter. All 3 pending actions are situated within 1 distinct art unit, indicating that while the examiners vary, the technical classification of the filings remains consistent.
Joseph Chang is noted as the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action, matching the workload of the other examiners involved in the portfolio. For practitioners, the 3 distinct examiners for 3 pending office actions mean that each case must be negotiated individually. However, the concentration of all 3 actions within 1 distinct art unit provides a stable technical environment for the company's semiconductor innovations at the USPTO. This structure suggests that the company's current semiconductor research is focused within a specific technical niche.
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 | 2 (67%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
