Lumafield Inc. currently has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners. Both of these pending actions are being processed within 1 distinct art unit, showing a centralized examination focus for the company's semiconductor-related filings.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is FAYE, MAMADOU, who is managing 1 pending action. Since there are 2 distinct examiners, the workload is distributed such that each examiner is responsible for 1 case. The fact that both examiners are located within 1 distinct art unit may lead to consistent examination practices for the company's current applications. This profile indicates a focused prosecution strategy within a specific technical domain. The presence of 2 distinct examiners within the assigned art unit suggests that while the subject matter is similar, the company will receive feedback from 2 different perspectives. This arrangement can be beneficial for understanding how different examiners within the art unit interpret the company's technology.
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 (50%) |
