Arktura LLC currently has 1 pending office action in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This action is located in a distinct art unit, representing a focused technical scope for their current pending USPTO activity. The prosecution involves a distinct examiner, meaning the entire pending portfolio is under the review of this individual.
CHIANG, MICHAEL is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. This action constitutes the entirety of the company's pending office actions. Because there is only a single distinct examiner and a single distinct art unit, the prosecution strategy is entirely dependent on the specific requirements of this examiner and art unit.
The presence of a pending office action indicates a small current footprint at the USPTO. Practitioners must focus exclusively on the style and preferences of CHIANG, MICHAEL. With only a distinct art unit involved, there is no technical diversity in the current pending matters. This allows for a concentrated effort on this pending action within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The workload of 1 pending action ensures that all attention is directed toward a single examiner.
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.
