Energywith Co. Ltd. currently has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This indicates that the portfolio is being examined across different technical specialties. Such a distribution suggests that the company's current legal challenges are spread across multiple specialized domains rather than being concentrated in a single technical group.
BRAUNLICH, MARTIN WALTER is the busiest examiner, managing 1 pending office action. With 2 distinct examiners each handling one action, the workload is evenly split. Practitioners must manage prosecution across 2 distinct art units, each with its own examiner and technical focus. This requires a flexible strategy that can adapt to the specific requirements and examination styles of different technical divisions within the USPTO simultaneously.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
