Futaba Corporation currently has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. COOK, CORTEZ M is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action. This distribution indicates that each pending matter is being prosecuted independently.
For practitioners, the distribution across 2 distinct art units means that prosecution strategies must be customized for different technical standards. Because COOK, CORTEZ M handles 1 pending action, no individual examiner dominates the current portfolio. This structure requires a case-by-case approach to each pending matter, as there is no overlap in the personnel or art units currently reviewing the company's applications, ensuring that each action is treated as a unique administrative event.
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.
