Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
3 pending office actions • 2 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 29 patents granted in the last 365 days
Xiamen PVTECH Co., Ltd. is currently addressing 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are spread across 2 distinct art units and are assigned to 3 distinct examiners. NEGRON, ISMAEL is the busiest examiner for the company, currently managing 1 pending office action.
The distribution of 3 pending office actions among 3 distinct examiners means that no single examiner is handling more than one matter. This ratio between examiners and pending office actions suggests a diverse set of reviews within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field. The 2 distinct art units involved indicate that the company's technology spans different specialized groups at the patent office.
With NEGRON, ISMAEL and two other distinct examiners each overseeing 1 pending office action, the company must navigate different examiner preferences. The 3 pending office actions represent the entirety of the current prosecution workload. Because the matters are in 2 distinct art units, the company is engaging with multiple technical branches of the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics area simultaneously.
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 (33%) |
| §102 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
