Sl Mirrortech Corporation has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. LEE, PAUL CHANG is the busiest examiner, currently managing 1 pending office action. The 2 pending office actions are being reviewed in 2 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's optical research spans different classifications within the patent office.
Each of the 2 distinct examiners is responsible for 1 pending action. LEE, PAUL CHANG handles 1 of these 2 actions. This distribution requires the company to navigate two different examination environments for its small number of active filings. The 2 distinct art units and 2 distinct examiners mean that there is no overlap in the current prosecution of these matters. Practitioners should be aware that the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics filings are being treated as separate technical efforts, each subject to the specific scrutiny of a different examiner.
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.
