Federal-Mogul Powertrain LLC is managing 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 2 actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners, ensuring that each pending matter is evaluated by a different person. Both examiners are part of 1 distinct art unit, which suggests that the company's current applications are technically similar and grouped together by the patent office. The concentration of these matters in 1 distinct art unit allows for a focused prosecution approach within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field.
The busiest examiner is PAGHADAL, PARESH H, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. With 2 distinct examiners for the 2 pending office actions, the workload is perfectly balanced. The presence of only 1 distinct art unit may simplify the prosecution strategy, as the company only needs to navigate the specific guidelines of a single technical group while dealing with 2 different examiners. This structure allows for a focused prosecution approach, even though the company must address the individual perspectives of 2 different examiners. The 2 distinct examiners will each bring a unique perspective to the 2 pending office actions currently being prosecuted.
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 |

| Double-patenting + other | 1 (50%) |
