Analysis

SL Corporation has 5 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters are assigned to 5 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units, so the recorded prosecution paths are separate at both levels.

PEERCE, MATTHEW J is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The data does not show a recurring examiner or art-unit relationship. Counsel should therefore emphasize application-specific office-action analysis and consistent treatment of shared technology issues.
