Kurimoto Ltd. has 2 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. The busiest examiner is PATEL, JITESH, who is currently managing 1 pending office action. This distribution shows that each pending matter is being examined independently by different personnel in separate art units.
For practitioners, this means there is no examiner overlap to leverage for consistent prosecution across the 2 pending actions. The prosecution strategy must be tailored to the specific requirements of PATEL, JITESH and the other assigned examiner. The focus on 2 distinct art units indicates that the company's technology is being reviewed by different specialized divisions within the Communications sector. This lack of concentration requires a versatile approach to handle the distinct procedural standards of each unit. The outcome of each action will depend on individual examiner interactions rather than a unified portfolio strategy.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
