4 pending office actions • 2 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
Yibu Semiconductor Co. Ltd. manages 3 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are handled by 3 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units, suggesting some overlap in art unit assignment despite the variety of examiners. This structure indicates that while the examiners are different, the subject matter may be closely related enough to fall within the same administrative groups.
STARK, JARRETT J is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. Since the portfolio has 3 actions and 3 examiners, each examiner is managing exactly 1 action. The fact that these 3 actions are contained within only 2 distinct art units suggests a higher density of prosecution within specific technical silos compared to portfolios where every action is in a different art unit, requiring a coordinated strategy across the 2 distinct art units.
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 |
|---|---|
| §102 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (75%) |
