Elmos Semiconductor SE has 2 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, resulting in a one-to-one ratio of cases to examiners. The prosecution is spread across 2 distinct art units, which indicates that the company's current patent activity involves different technical sub-specialties within the networking and security field.
The busiest examiner is ABEDIN, NORMIN, who is responsible for 1 of the 2 pending office actions. Because each of the 2 distinct examiners handles exactly 1 action, the company must manage two separate prosecution tracks. The involvement of 2 distinct art units further suggests that these two cases may be subject to different examining guidelines or technical standards. Practitioners should be prepared to tailor their legal arguments to the specific requirements of each art unit and the individual preferences of the two distinct examiners involved.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (67%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
