Driving Innovations LLC has 1 pending office action within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This single action is being handled by 1 distinct examiner in 1 distinct art unit, indicating a very concentrated point of engagement for the company's current patent efforts. This focused presence in the semiconductor sector suggests a specific technical objective or a limited volume of active prosecution at the present time.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is PLUMB, NIGEL H, who is assigned 1 pending office action. Because the busiest examiner pending count of 1 is equal to the total number of pending office actions, the company's immediate prosecution outcomes are entirely dependent on the review of this one individual. This concentration eliminates the possibility of using internal comparisons between different examiners to refine prosecution tactics for this specific portfolio.
Practitioners should focus on the specific preferences and history of PLUMB, NIGEL H, as this examiner represents the sole gateway for the company's pending matter. The alignment of 1 distinct art unit with 1 distinct examiner means that the company's strategy in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics is currently operating through a single, narrow channel. Success in this 1 pending office action is essential for maintaining the portfolio's momentum.
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.
