Wuhan Optical Valley Information Optoelectronics Innovation Center Co. Ltd. currently has 1 pending office action within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This single matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, which indicates a concentrated prosecution focus. The involvement of 1 distinct art unit further suggests that the company's current patent activity is confined to a specific technical niche within the USPTO.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is WONG, TINA MEI SENG, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. As there is only 1 pending action in total, WONG, TINA MEI SENG handles the entirety of the company's current pending workload. This one-to-one relationship between the examiner and the portfolio's pending matters simplifies the prosecution landscape.
Practitioners should focus on the specific examination style of the 1 distinct examiner and the standards of the 1 distinct art unit. Because the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics area is the sole technology area represented, the company's current legal efforts are technically unified. The presence of only 1 pending office action means that the company's immediate success in this area depends entirely on the outcome of this single proceeding.
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.
