Nexdot currently has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners. The prosecution is occurring across 2 distinct art units, which indicates that the company's filings are being reviewed by different specialized groups within the patent office.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is SAHLE, MAHIDERE S, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This 1 pending action is equal to the workload of the other of the 2 distinct examiners. Because the 2 pending office actions are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, the company is engaging with different officials in different technical contexts.
Practitioners should note that the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics filings are being reviewed by 2 distinct examiners, providing different points of contact for the 2 pending office actions. The 2 distinct art units suggest a lack of concentration in a single technical group. SAHLE, MAHIDERE S manages 1 pending action, showing that no single examiner dominates the current portfolio. This distribution defines the current prosecution landscape for Nexdot.
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.
