Fieldline Inc. has 3 pending office actions distributed across the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are spread across 3 distinct art units, showing the range of technical classifications for the 3 pending office actions. Each action is handled by a different individual, resulting in 3 distinct examiners for the company. This distribution of examiners to pending actions indicates that matters are being evaluated under unique examiner preferences across the different art units. Practitioners should prepare for varied examination styles given the 3 distinct examiners involved.
RICHARD ISLA is the busiest examiner for Fieldline Inc., though he is responsible for 1 pending office action. This distribution indicates that each individual oversees 1 pending action across the 3 distinct art units. The lack of concentration among examiners suggests that strategies successful in a case may not necessarily translate to others in the same technology area. Managing the 3 pending office actions requires attention to the specific requirements of the art units and the individual preferences of the 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.
