Koninklijke KPN N.V. has 1 pending office action in the Communications technology area. This action is handled by 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. KUNTZ, CURTIS A is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action.
The portfolio's current prosecution activity is concentrated in 1 pending office action. Because there is 1 distinct examiner, KUNTZ, CURTIS A is the only official currently reviewing the company's patent matters. The use of 1 distinct art unit indicates that the company's active legal work is confined to a single technical group.
For a practitioner, this concentration means that the prosecution strategy is entirely dependent on the interpretation of KUNTZ, CURTIS A. There are no other active matters to provide a baseline for examiner behavior within this portfolio. The focus within the art unit implies that the technical subject matter is restricted to a specific niche. Success in this matter will require a deep understanding of the assigned examiner's specific requirements and the art unit's internal standards for the Communications sector.
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.
