WANGS ALLIANCE Corporation currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, indicating that the company is interacting with multiple officials at the USPTO. Both active files are located within 1 distinct art unit, which suggests a concentrated technical focus despite the involvement of different examiners.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is DELAHOUSSAYE, KEITH G, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This examiner handles a portion of the 2 pending office actions currently active for the company. Because the workload is split between 2 distinct examiners, the company must ensure consistency in its arguments across the different individuals reviewing its applications.
With 2 pending office actions in 1 distinct art unit, the company can focus its resources on the specific procedural norms of that single unit. While DELAHOUSSAYE, KEITH G is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action, the overall strategy must account for the perspectives of both examiners involved. This balanced distribution within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector allows for a focused yet diversified prosecution approach.
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.
