Dusty Robotics Inc. maintains a portfolio in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The company currently faces 1 pending office action. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, RICHMOND, SCOTT A., and is situated within 1 distinct art unit. This structure shows a concentrated prosecution effort for the company's current pending matter.
The busiest examiner, RICHMOND, SCOTT A., is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. Since the total number of pending office actions is 1, this examiner is the point of contact for the company's current examination process. The data reflects a specific technical engagement within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics area, as evidenced by the 1 distinct art unit and 1 distinct examiner. For practitioners, the workload consists of 1 pending office action to address. The success of the portfolio depends on the specific review of RICHMOND, SCOTT A. within that 1 distinct art 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.
