Elobau GmbH & Co. Kg is currently prosecuting a patent portfolio within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The data shows 1 pending office action currently active. This action is being handled by a distinct examiner, which indicates a focused and centralized prosecution effort at this stage. Because the workload is limited to a distinct art unit, the company only needs to navigate the specific standards and procedures of a specialized group within the patent office.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is QUINN, DANIEL MICHAEL, who is responsible for 1 busiest_examiner_pending office action. Having this specific individual as the point of contact for the pending workload allows for a direct and consistent line of communication. This can be advantageous for the applicant, as it eliminates the need to reconcile different examiner styles or conflicting feedback from multiple sources.
Practitioners should note that the concentration of the portfolio under QUINN, DANIEL MICHAEL in the semiconductor and optics sector suggests a streamlined administrative process. With the pending office action workload being so limited, the company can dedicate its resources to addressing the specific concerns of this examiner. This portfolio currently avoids the complexity associated with larger, more distributed patent filings.
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.
