Creal SA currently manages 3 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This workload is distributed across 2 distinct art units, indicating a focused but divided examination environment for their patent portfolio. Practitioners should prepare for varying standards of patentability across these different administrative groups.
The prosecution involves 3 distinct examiners, ensuring that no individual handles the entirety of the pending matters. CROCKETT, RYAN M is identified as the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. This variety in examiner assignments suggests that the applicant should monitor for inconsistencies in how similar technical concepts are treated across the portfolio.
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.
