Ctak LLC currently manages 1 pending office action within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This single matter is assigned to THOMAS, BRANDI N, who is the distinct examiner involved in the company's prosecution. As the examiner, THOMAS, BRANDI N is also the busiest for this portfolio, with 1 pending action under review.
The prosecution activity is concentrated within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates a very narrow technical focus for the company's current patent efforts. With the 1 pending office action, the portfolio represents a highly specific point of contact with the USPTO.
Practitioners should note that the entire prosecution experience for this company is currently defined by an examiner's perspective within a specialized unit. This lack of examiner or art unit variety means that the outcome of the company's current patent strategy depends entirely on the evaluation of this individual. The pending office action is subject to the specific standards of this technical group.
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.
