1 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 1 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Menzies Roofing Corporation currently manages 1 pending office action within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This specific matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner working out of 1 distinct art unit. The concentration of the portfolio into a specific active case suggests a focused prosecution effort at this stage. Practitioners should prepare for an individual point of contact within the patent office, as the entire current workload is contained within these parameters.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is SEMBER, THOMAS M, who is responsible for the 1 pending office action currently on record. Because the busiest examiner pending count is 1, the entire workload for this technology area is handled by this individual. This parity between the busiest examiner's load and the total pending actions confirms that no other examiners are currently reviewing the company's applications. The involvement of 1 distinct art unit further indicates that the technical subject matter is confined to a specific classification within the broader Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics 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.
