Etn Capital LLC is currently managing 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 3 actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This one-to-one ratio between actions, examiners, and art units indicates that each pending matter is being reviewed by a different official in a separate technical group. This lack of concentration suggests that the company's current semiconductor-related filings cover a variety of specific sub-technologies.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is GUADALUPE, YARITZA, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because there are 3 pending office actions and 3 distinct examiners, no single examiner is handling more than one case. Similarly, the presence of 3 distinct art units for 3 actions confirms that the company's current prosecution activity is spread across different specialized departments. This distribution means that the company must engage with multiple examiners and art units simultaneously to advance its pending applications.
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 | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
