Cefla Società Cooperativa currently manages a company patent portfolio with 1 pending office action. This prosecution activity is concentrated within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The portfolio's current status involves 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. This indicates a highly focused examination path for the company's pending matter.
LEBRON, JANNELLE M is identified as the busiest examiner for this portfolio. This specific examiner is responsible for 1 pending office action. The alignment between the total pending actions and the busiest examiner's workload shows that all current prosecution is handled by a single individual. This concentration allows for a direct interaction model between the applicant and the USPTO.
Practitioners should note that the 1 distinct art unit involved suggests a narrow technical classification for the underlying invention. Because there is only 1 pending office action, the immediate administrative burden on the portfolio is limited. Monitoring the progress of LEBRON, JANNELLE M will provide the most direct insight into the portfolio's current status and likely timeline for resolution.
