Nordex Energy Spain S A U has 2 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct art units, showing a spread of technical subject matter even within this specific field. Each action is handled by a different person, as there are distinct examiners involved in the portfolio, which means the company must prepare for unique sets of examiner feedback.
REID JR, CHARLES H is the busiest examiner, though he is only responsible for 1 pending action. Because there is no overlap between examiners or art units, each of the pending actions represents an independent prosecution track. This distribution across different technical focuses requires a versatile approach to patent prosecution for the company's semiconductor portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 |
|---|---|
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (100%) |
