Em-Tech Co. Ltd. currently has 1 pending office action in the Communications technology area. This single action is being handled by 1 distinct examiner, SHAH, ANTIM G. The matter is categorized under 1 distinct art unit, reflecting the specialized nature of the communications sector. This concentration of the 1 pending action within a single art unit reflects a focused technical scope for the company's current filing.
SHAH, ANTIM G is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action. Because the company has only 1 pending office action, this examiner is responsible for the entire active prosecution workload. The presence of 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit for the 1 pending action indicates that the prosecution is currently focused through a single channel at the patent office. For practitioners, the outcome of this matter depends entirely on the individual review style of SHAH, ANTIM G.
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.
