Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
UNIVERSITAET WIEN currently manages 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that the university's semiconductor filings are being reviewed by multiple officials, which can lead to varied prosecution timelines and outcomes depending on individual examiner approaches. The one-to-one ratio between actions and examiners ensures independent review for each matter.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is JONES, JENNIFER ANN, who is assigned 1 pending office action. With 2 pending actions total, the workload is evenly divided among the 2 distinct examiners. This balance means that no single examiner dominates the current prosecution strategy. Practitioners must account for the specific requirements of the 2 different art units, as each may have unique precedents or internal guidelines for optics and circuit subject matter.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (50%) |
