Measurement Specialties (China) Ltd. has a highly concentrated prosecution profile with 1 pending office action in the Communications technology area. This single matter is assigned to 1 examiner, LUGO, DAVID B, within 1 distinct art unit. Consequently, the entire pending portfolio is subject to the specific scrutiny and procedural habits of this individual examiner.
Because there is only 1 pending office action, the busiest examiner, LUGO, DAVID B, naturally accounts for the total pending workload. This relationship between the action and the examiner means that the outcome of the current pending phase depends entirely on the interaction within this 1 distinct art unit. For a company in the Communications sector, this singular focus simplifies the administrative tracking of prosecution but increases the impact of a single examiner's perspective.
There are no other distinct examiners or art units to provide a comparative baseline for prosecution success within this portfolio. The lack of multiple pending matters suggests a very specific or limited current engagement with the patent office. Practitioners should focus entirely on the specific requirements of the 1 distinct art unit involved to resolve the outstanding action. This concentrated approach requires a deep understanding of the individual examiner's past decisions and the specific technical standards of the Communications field.
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.
