Smart Photonics Holding B V has 5 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters involve 4 examiners and 2 art units, showing concentration at the art-unit level and some repeated examiner assignment.
KIANNI, KAVEH C is the busiest examiner, handling 2 pending actions. That assignment creates an opportunity to compare responses and maintain consistent technical and claim positions across matters before the same examiner.
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 (20%) |
