Koherent OY is currently managing 2 pending office actions in the Networking & Security technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners but are both located within 1 distinct art unit. This structure indicates that the company's security innovations are being evaluated by a single specialized technical group.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is ELMEJJARMI, ABDELILLAH, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. With 2 pending office actions and 2 distinct examiners, each examiner is handling 1 case. This allows for individual attention to each application while still operating under the umbrella of 1 distinct art unit.
The presence of 1 distinct art unit suggests that the legal and technical standards applied to both pending matters will be consistent. Practitioners can focus on the specific precedents and examination styles prevalent in this unit. With only 2 pending office actions, the active docket is small, allowing for a tailored approach to each of the 2 distinct 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (50%) |
| §102 only | 1 (50%) |
