Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
3 pending office actions • 1 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Treves Products, Services & Innovation currently manages 3 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, meaning each pending case is being reviewed by a different official. Despite the variety of examiners, all pending actions are concentrated within 1 distinct art unit, indicating a very specific technical focus for the company's current patent applications.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is FLEMING, FAYE M, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Given that there are multiple examiners for the actions, the workload is perfectly balanced among the assigned staff. The concentration in the single art unit suggests that while different examiners are involved, they likely share a common technical background relevant to Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics.
Practitioners should prepare for multiple examiner interactions while navigating the specific requirements of the art unit. The action under FLEMING, FAYE M represents a portion of the total pending actions. This structure requires a consistent technical argument across the pending office actions to satisfy the standards of the 1 distinct art unit involved.
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.
