Laurel Technologies Partnership currently manages 1 pending office action within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This active matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, BUTTAR, MANDEEP S, who is also the busiest examiner for the portfolio with a count of 1. The concentration of the portfolio is further evidenced by its presence in only 1 distinct art unit.
The prosecution landscape for this entity is highly centralized, as all activity is confined to the 1 distinct art unit and 1 distinct examiner. This suggests a very narrow focus within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector. For a practitioner, this means that the outcome of the 1 pending office action depends entirely on the perspective of BUTTAR, MANDEEP S. Because there is only 1 pending matter, the workload is minimal, but the lack of examiner diversity means there are no alternative prosecution styles to compare within the current portfolio.
The specific focus on the 1 art unit and 1 examiner indicates that the company is likely pursuing a specific technological niche. Practitioners should prepare for a highly focused interaction with the patent office, as the entire current portfolio's success rests on the resolution of this active matter. The absence of multiple examiners or art units simplifies the administrative burden but increases the importance of the relationship with the assigned examiner.
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.
