Cpi Card Group - Minnesota Inc. has 1 pending office action in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This single matter is assigned to 1 distinct art unit. The prosecution involves 1 distinct examiner, WALSH, DANIEL I, who is currently handling the entirety of the company's pending workload at the office. This high level of concentration means that the company's current patent strategy in this sector is tied to a single administrative path.
Because WALSH, DANIEL I is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action, the company's current patent activity is highly concentrated. There is no distribution across different administrative divisions or personnel, as the 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit represent the full scope of the active portfolio. This concentration simplifies the tracking of pending responses within this specific technology sector, as there are no other active matters to monitor. By focusing on a single examiner and art unit, the company can develop a highly specialized response strategy for its semiconductor filings.
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.
