Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 3 patents granted in the last 365 days
Yageo Corporation has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. Both of these actions are handled by 1 distinct examiner and are located within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates a highly concentrated prosecution strategy where all current activity is being reviewed by the same individual in a single technical group. Such concentration can lead to consistent feedback across the company's pending applications.
LEE, KYUNG S is the busiest examiner for the company, managing 2 pending office actions. This accounts for the total pending volume currently in the portfolio. Because all activity is within 1 distinct art unit, the prosecution is currently confined to a single specialized group within the patent office. This streamlined approach allows the company to focus its efforts on the specific examination standards of one art unit and one examiner, potentially simplifying the response process for the 2 pending office actions.
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.
