1 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 1 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Spectra Systems Corporation has 1 pending office action in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This activity is distributed across 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. This singular focus indicates that the company's current prosecution efforts are concentrated on a specific technical disclosure rather than a broad array of diverse applications. Such a focused approach allows for a deep dive into the specific prior art and technical requirements of the assigned 1 distinct art unit.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is LEE, SHUN K, who is managing 1 pending office action. Since this examiner is the only one currently reviewing the company's applications, the prosecution outcomes are tied to the specific practices of this individual. The presence of only 1 distinct art unit confirms that the current workload is confined to a single specialized group within the patent office. This centralization means that the company's immediate patent success depends on successfully navigating the preferences and interpretations of the 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.
