Span Io Inc. currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is reviewing a pending application. This distribution indicates that the current workload is split between different personnel at the USPTO.
The portfolio involves 2 distinct art units, which means that each of the pending office actions is being reviewed in a different specialized unit. The busiest examiner for Span Io Inc. is ASMAT UCEDA, MARTIN ANTONIO, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This accounts for a portion of the total pending actions for the company.
With the distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units for the pending actions, the Span Io Inc. portfolio is diversified. Practitioners must address the specific requirements of ASMAT UCEDA, MARTIN ANTONIO in one art unit and a different examiner in another. This structure suggests that the semiconductor and circuit technologies being patented are categorized into different specialized classifications, requiring tailored strategies for each matter.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
