Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
Emak S P A has 2 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. VARGHESE, ROSHN K is the busiest examiner, currently overseeing 1 pending action.
The distribution of the 2 pending office actions across 2 distinct examiners suggests a decentralized prosecution environment where each active matter is handled by a different official. Because the busiest examiner pending count is 1, no single examiner holds a majority of the pending workload. The involvement of 2 distinct art units further indicates that the company's current patent challenges are being addressed by different technical divisions within the patent office.
For a practitioner, this dispersion means that the company must adapt its arguments to the specific requirements of two different examiners. The presence of 2 distinct art units suggests that the underlying technologies are categorized into separate specialized groups. This variety provides a broader base of examiner feedback, which can be useful for identifying consistent trends or divergent standards across the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector.
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.
