Hana Technology Co. Ltd. is managing a patent portfolio in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The company currently has 1 pending office action, which represents the entirety of its active prosecution at the USPTO. This matter is being reviewed within 1 distinct art unit, suggesting a specific focus on a circuit or optical technology. Practitioners should note that this streamlined engagement allows for a concentrated effort on the lone pending matter.
The single pending office action is assigned to examiner SCHNASE, PAUL DANIEL, who is the busiest examiner for the portfolio with 1 pending office action. Because there is 1 distinct examiner involved, the company's prosecution efforts are concentrated on this individual's evaluation. This streamlined presence in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector allows for a dedicated approach to the lone pending matter. The 1 distinct art unit reflects the specific technical niche of the company's current filing. By engaging with 1 distinct examiner, the company can maintain a consistent prosecution narrative throughout the examination of the 1 pending office action. The presence of 1 distinct art unit further confirms the specialized nature of the current filing.
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.
