Fermata Energy Ii LLC has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The portfolio involves 2 distinct examiners working across 2 distinct art units. This structure shows a direct ratio between pending actions and examiners. With 2 distinct art units involved, the prosecution is not centralized in a single administrative group. This distribution suggests that the company is pursuing different technical paths within the semiconductor sector. The administrative path is defined by these 2 separate units, which affects prosecution timelines and strategy.
DAVID P TARDIF is the busiest examiner for the company with 1 pending office action. With 2 distinct examiners and 2 pending office actions, the prosecution effort is divided equally. For the applicant, this means that understanding the specific tendencies of the assigned examiners is a factor for success. The limited scope of 1 pending office action per examiner simplifies the management of the current portfolio. This decentralized approach ensures that feedback is gathered from different professional perspectives within the 2 distinct art units.
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.
