UBRIGHT OPTRONICS CORPORATION is navigating 5 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are being reviewed by 4 distinct examiners, indicating some concentration of the workload. Specifically, the busiest examiner, LEE, MATTHEW Y, is responsible for 2 of the pending office actions. This concentration makes the interactions with this specific examiner a significant factor in the portfolio's overall progress.
The 5 pending office actions are distributed across 4 distinct art units. This suggests that the company's semiconductor and optics innovations fall under several different examination categories. While LEE, MATTHEW Y handles 2 actions, the other pending matters are distributed among the remaining distinct examiners. This requires the legal team to adapt to different examiner perspectives across the 4 art units.
With a total of 5 pending office actions, the prosecution strategy must be robust enough to handle multiple simultaneous reviews. The fact that 4 distinct art units are involved highlights the technical diversity of the filings. Practitioners should prioritize the interactions under LEE, MATTHEW Y, as these represent the largest single block of pending work in the current Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics portfolio.
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.
