Yingyou Equipment Co. Ltd. currently manages 3 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This workload is distributed across 2 distinct examiners, which indicates some level of examiner overlap within the portfolio. The prosecution activity is also spread across 2 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's technical claims are being evaluated under different classification standards within the semiconductor field.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is DUNAY, CHRISTOPHER E, who is currently responsible for 2 pending office actions. This concentration of work with a single examiner provides a point of consistency for the company, as this individual oversees a majority of the active matters. For patent practitioners, the presence of 3 pending office actions across only 2 examiners means that the feedback received from DUNAY, CHRISTOPHER E will be particularly influential for the overall portfolio outcome. The strategy should focus on addressing this examiner's specific concerns, as their decisions impact 2 of the company's current pending applications.
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.
