Curiosis Co. Ltd. currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This portfolio is distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, indicating a focused but divided prosecution landscape. The workload is spread among the assigned staff, requiring the applicant to monitor multiple channels of communication simultaneously.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is LAU, EDMOND C, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This represents a portion of the total 2 pending actions currently active for the company. Practitioners should note that with 2 distinct art units involved, the technical evaluation criteria are likely to remain consistent across the current filings, even with different personnel assigned.
The presence of 2 distinct examiners suggests that while the technology area is unified, individual examiner preferences will dictate the immediate strategy for each application. Monitoring the specific tendencies of LAU, EDMOND C is advisable given their role in 1 of the active matters. A coordinated approach across both 2 distinct art units will help maintain a cohesive patent strategy.
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.
