X Display Company Technology Limited has 8 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 8 pending office actions are handled by 7 distinct examiners, indicating that most examiners are managing only a single matter for the company. The prosecution involves 4 distinct art units, which reflects the technical scope of the company's semiconductor and optical innovations. CHOI, CALVIN Y is the busiest examiner, currently managing 2 pending actions. This distribution shows that the portfolio is not heavily concentrated under any single examiner, as 7 distinct examiners are involved in the process.
The presence of 4 distinct art units suggests that the company's patent applications are being reviewed by several different specialized technical groups within the semiconductor sector. With 8 pending office actions, the company maintains a steady level of activity at the USPTO. CHOI, CALVIN Y, who is the busiest examiner with 2 pending actions, handles 2 of the 8 pending office actions. This relatively decentralized prosecution landscape requires a coordinated legal strategy to manage the 7 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units effectively. The diversity of the 4 art units involved highlights the technical variety of X Display Company Technology Limited's current patenting efforts in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field.
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 | 5 (62%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (38%) |
