VISIC TECHNOLOGIES LTD. is active in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The company has 1 pending office action currently in progress. This action is being reviewed by 1 distinct examiner within 1 distinct art unit, showing a narrow focus for their current patenting activity. Such a focus suggests that the company's intellectual property strategy is currently centered on a specific technical niche within the broader Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is KAO, SOPHIA WEI-CHUN, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. As the total number of pending office actions is 1, KAO, SOPHIA WEI-CHUN is the only one currently evaluating the company's work. The prosecution of this portfolio is therefore entirely dependent on the specific practices of this 1 distinct examiner. For a practitioner, this implies that understanding the historical allowance rates and preferences of KAO, SOPHIA WEI-CHUN is critical for predicting the success of the 1 pending office action.
The presence of only the 1 distinct art unit further reinforces the specialized nature of the company's current filings. With the pending office action as the only active matter, the company's immediate legal focus is streamlined. This lack of diversity in examiners and art units simplifies the management of the portfolio but also increases the impact of any single decision made by the assigned examiner within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector.
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.
