Analysis

Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. currently manages 1 pending office action within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This matter is assigned to LE, THANG XUAN, who is also the busiest examiner for the company. The entire active portfolio is concentrated within 1 distinct art unit, which suggests a highly specific technical focus for the company's current prosecution efforts.

The presence of a single distinct examiner indicates a very focused or limited current prosecution phase. Because the workload is limited to a single distinct art unit, the company only needs to address the specific procedural and technical standards of that unit. LE, THANG XUAN is the sole point of contact for the company's current pending matters in this data set, making this individual's examination style the primary factor in the company's immediate outcomes.

Practitioners should note that with only a single distinct examiner involved, there is no opportunity to compare examiner behaviors within the company's own portfolio. The current engagement with the patent office is reflected in these figures. Strategy should be tailored specifically to the known tendencies of the assigned reviewer within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector.
