I-Pro Co. Ltd. has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners. The prosecution is currently limited to 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that the company's applications are being reviewed by different examiners within the same technical group, which may offer consistency in the technical prior art being cited.
AGGARWAL, YOGESH K is the busiest examiner, holding 1 pending office action. With 2 pending actions and 2 distinct examiners, each examiner is responsible for one application. The concentration in 1 distinct art unit may provide consistency in the technical standards applied to the applications, even though 2 different examiners are conducting the reviews. Practitioners should look for commonalities in the examination styles of the 2 distinct examiners within this 1 art unit. This strategy can help in developing a unified technical argument that satisfies the standards of the 1 art unit while addressing the individual concerns of each examiner.
