Magna Powertrain of America Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners, with each examiner handling 1 of the pending matters. Both actions are located within 1 distinct art unit, indicating that the company's current pending applications are focused on a specific technical area within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field.
The busiest examiner for this company is AMAYA, CARLOS DAVID, who is assigned 1 pending office action. Because the total number of pending office actions is 2 and there are 2 distinct examiners, AMAYA, CARLOS DAVID manages a portion of the current workload. The concentration of both actions in 1 distinct art unit suggests that the prosecution strategy can remain focused on the specific rules of that unit. Practitioners should coordinate their efforts to address the 2 pending office actions while considering the individual styles of the 2 distinct examiners involved.
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.
