Immervision Inc. maintains 2 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 2 pending office actions are being handled by 2 distinct examiners, ensuring that each pending matter is receiving an independent review. Both of these examiners are operating within 1 distinct art unit, which indicates a high degree of technical focus for the company's current patent filings.
NATASHA NIGAM is designated as the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 1 pending office action under her review. Because there are 2 pending office actions and 2 distinct examiners, the workload is perfectly balanced between them. The concentration of all prosecution activity within 1 distinct art unit suggests that the company's optics and semiconductor innovations are being evaluated against a singular set of departmental guidelines and prior art databases.
The presence of 2 distinct examiners within a single art unit allows for a comparison of how different individuals in the same department interpret the company's technology. Since NATASHA NIGAM and the other examiner each have 1 pending office action, no single examiner has more influence than the other. However, the unified focus on 1 distinct art unit means that the company's overall prosecution success is heavily tied to the specific culture and precedents of that one administrative group.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
