Ennostar Corporation is currently navigating 3 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's patenting activities are focused on a relatively narrow range of technical classifications. The prosecution workload involves 3 distinct examiners, matching the total number of pending actions. This distribution indicates that each pending matter is being reviewed by a different individual.
ROBERTSON, NOAH CHRISTOPHER is the busiest examiner for this portfolio. This individual is handling 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because the workload is distributed among several examiners, no single examiner manages a large majority of the cases. This distribution across 2 distinct art units indicates that while the technology area is consistent, the specific examination groups are slightly more concentrated than the individual examiner count. Practitioners should note that the 2 distinct art units indicate a concentration of technical subject matter despite the involvement of multiple examiners.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 3 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (50%) |
