Energy Plus Technology currently has 1 pending office action. This single matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, KIPOUROS, HOLLY MICHAELA, who is also the busiest examiner with 1 pending action. The profile indicates 0 distinct art units, which suggests a very focused or specialized prosecution path for this individual application.
With only 1 pending office action, the company's immediate patent goals are tied to the decisions of KIPOUROS, HOLLY MICHAELA. The 1 distinct examiner is the sole gatekeeper for this portion of the portfolio. This concentration means that the outcome of this 1 action is critical for the company's intellectual property standing. The absence of multiple examiners or art units points to a narrow scope for the active portfolio.
Practitioners should focus on the specific requirements of the 1 pending office action to advance the case. Since there are 0 distinct art units listed, the procedural context is limited to the single examiner's review. This 1-to-1 relationship between the action and the examiner centralizes the communication and strategy for Energy Plus Technology.
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.
