Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
Wickon Hightech GmbH currently has 2 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, which distributes the workload across different officials. Interestingly, both matters are housed within 1 distinct art unit, indicating that while the examiners differ, the technical classification of the applications remains consistent. This consistency allows for a unified technical strategy even when dealing with different individuals.
The busiest examiner, MENDOZA, ALEXANDRIA ARELLANO, is responsible for 1 pending office action. This represents half of the 2 total pending actions for the company. With 1 busiest examiner pending action, the workload is perfectly balanced between the two assigned examiners. This scenario allows the company to compare the prosecution styles of two different officials within the same art unit, potentially providing insights into broader trends for their semiconductor and optics portfolio. Legal teams should leverage this parallel review process to refine their arguments across both pending matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
