Viaphoton Inc. currently has 3 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are spread across 2 distinct art units and involve 3 distinct examiners. Because there is an equal count of examiners and pending office actions, each action is being handled by a different person. BUKHARI, AQEEL H is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending office action under their supervision.
The distribution across 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's technology in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics is being evaluated under slightly different technical lenses. With 3 distinct examiners involved, the prosecution risk is diversified, as no single examiner's decision will impact more than one of the 3 pending office actions. This variety in examiners and units requires the applicant to manage multiple prosecution styles simultaneously to advance the portfolio.
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.
