Stoneridge Electronics AB has 5 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed among 4 distinct examiners. The prosecution occurs across 4 distinct art units, indicating a relatively broad technical scope within the electronics field.
NIRJHAR, NASIM NAZRUL is the busiest examiner with 2 pending office actions. The remaining pending office actions are handled by the other distinct examiners. The 5 pending office actions across 4 distinct art units show that the intellectual property is being scrutinized by multiple specialized units at the patent office.
For the company, having 4 distinct examiners for 5 pending office actions means that most applications receive an independent review. The 4 distinct art units further diversify the examination process. This distribution requires the company to adapt its prosecution tactics to the specific preferences of four different examination groups.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (20%) |
| §103 only | 3 (60%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (20%) |
