Kub Technologies Inc. Dba Kubtec maintains a focused portfolio with 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are concentrated within 1 distinct art unit, which may allow for a more consistent prosecution environment compared to portfolios spread across multiple units.
The 3 pending office actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners, showing a higher degree of concentration than larger portfolios. FAYE, MAMADOU is the busiest examiner, overseeing 2 pending office actions. This concentration means that the majority of the current pending actions are subject to the specific examination style of a single individual. The remaining case is handled by the second of the distinct examiners. This structure allows for a relatively streamlined prosecution strategy within the 1 distinct art unit. Practitioners should focus on the specific preferences of these individuals.
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 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
