Zhuhai Dinghui Technology Co. Ltd. has 1 pending office action in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, THERRIEN, CARLA J, who is the busiest examiner for the portfolio. The prosecution is conducted within 1 distinct art unit, representing a narrow technical focus. This concentration suggests that the applicant's current legal strategy is entirely dependent on the specific technical standards of this 1 unit within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field.
The busiest examiner pending count is 1, which represents the total of 1 pending office action for the company. Because there is only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, the applicant's current prosecution strategy is tied to a single point of review. This centralization means the specific preferences of THERRIEN, CARLA J will be the primary factor in the resolution of the 1 pending action. Practitioners should prioritize a thorough review of this examiner's previous rulings to identify common patterns in how they handle Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics applications. Since there is only 1 pending office action, the company's immediate patent goals are tied to the resolution of this single case. The focus on 1 distinct art unit means that the technical arguments must be precisely aligned with the specific requirements of that unit.
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.
