Esmoking Institute Sp Z O O is currently managing 1 pending office action in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This activity is concentrated under 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, indicating a streamlined prosecution for the company's current filings. The fact that the matter is limited to 1 distinct art unit suggests that the technology being patented is specialized within a specific electronic classification.
The busiest examiner for the company is SILVA, FRANK ALEXIS, who handles 1 pending office action. Since there is only 1 distinct examiner involved in the company's current portfolio, the outcome of the pending matter depends on the specific interpretations of this individual. This lack of examiner variety means that the company's current prosecution experience is not diversified across different examination styles. For the applicant, the primary goal is to address the specific concerns of the 1 distinct examiner who is managing the 1 pending office action.
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.
