Current Lighting Solutions LLC manages a company patent portfolio in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. At present, the portfolio's prosecution activity is limited to 1 pending office action. This matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, which indicates that the company's current USPTO footprint is very narrow. Furthermore, the portfolio is active in 1 distinct art unit, suggesting that the company's lighting innovations are being evaluated within a specific technical classification rather than across multiple disciplines.
The busiest examiner for Current Lighting Solutions LLC is CHOI, JAMES J, who is responsible for the 1 pending office action currently on file. As the sole examiner involved in the company's active cases, CHOI, JAMES J will have a significant impact on the immediate growth of the portfolio. For a practitioner, the presence of 1 busiest examiner pending case allows for a highly focused response strategy that addresses the specific concerns of this individual. The fact that the portfolio is confined to 1 distinct art unit also means that the prosecution will be subject to the specific examination guidelines and prior art trends of that particular unit.
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.
