Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
3 pending office actions • 3 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
Xiamen Changelight Co. Ltd. is managing 4 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This level of activity reflects a consistent effort to protect its innovations in the semiconductor industry. The 4 pending actions indicate that the company is currently engaged in multiple active discussions with the patent office to advance its applications toward issuance.
The portfolio's prosecution is spread across 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units. This distribution suggests that each of the 4 pending office actions covers a different technical specialty within the broader field of semiconductors and optics. Because the work is divided among 4 different art units, the company must adapt its prosecution strategy to the specific standards and practices of each unit. The involvement of 4 distinct examiners means that no single individual has a dominant influence over the current pending portfolio.
SPRENGER, JAIME LYNN is the busiest examiner for Xiamen Changelight Co. Ltd., with 1 pending office action. Since each of the 4 pending office actions is handled by a different examiner, SPRENGER, JAIME LYNN's role is equal to that of the other three examiners. The company must therefore prepare for 4 unique examination styles. Success in these 4 pending matters will require a tailored approach for each examiner and art unit involved.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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 |
|---|---|
| §112 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
