Durable Devices AB is active in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area, where it currently has 1 pending office action. This prosecution activity is handled by 1 distinct examiner, indicating a highly targeted focus for the company's current intellectual property efforts. The involvement of 1 distinct art unit suggests that the company's current filings are being reviewed within a single specialized group at the patent office, rather than being spread across multiple technical departments.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is LEE, SANGKYUNG, who is currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending office action. As the total count of pending office actions for the company is 1, this examiner is the sole point of contact for the company's active patent applications. This creates a situation where the company's immediate outcomes in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics space are entirely subject to the review of this one examiner. The simplicity of this profile reflects a very focused and non-diversified approach to current patent filings with no other active matters in the system.
