UNIVERSITE DE LILLE holds a patent portfolio in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. There are 2 pending office actions currently active for this entity. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, showing a lack of concentration in the current prosecution phase.
STOCK JR, GORDON J is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Since there are 2 pending office actions in total, each of the 2 distinct examiners is responsible for a single action. Similarly, the 2 distinct art units suggest that each pending application is being evaluated under different technical classifications.
For practitioners, this data indicates that the university's current semiconductor filings are facing independent reviews. With 2 distinct examiners for 2 pending office actions, there is no single individual or art unit dominating the current workload, requiring a tailored approach for each case. STOCK JR, GORDON J manages only 1 busiest examiner pending action.
