LAM RESEARCH SALZBURG GMBH maintains a company patent portfolio that currently includes 1 pending office action. This single action constitutes the full scope of the company's active engagement with the patent office. The prosecution is handled by 1 distinct examiner, KURPLE, KARL, who is also designated as the busiest examiner for the portfolio. The data shows that KURPLE, KARL is managing 1 busiest examiner pending action, which is the only matter currently under review.
The portfolio is currently linked to 0 distinct art units, which is a specific administrative detail of the current filing status. Although no art unit is recorded, the assignment of 1 distinct examiner confirms that the 1 pending office action is being actively evaluated. For a practitioner, this means that the success of the company's patent strategy rests solely on the interaction with KURPLE, KARL. There is no examiner or art unit diversity to offer different paths for the prosecution. The pending office action is the only matter currently being processed, and its outcome depends on the distinct examiner despite the 0 distinct art units shown in the data.
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.
