Nuburu, Inc. currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This portfolio is distributed across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, indicating a spread of technical subject matter within the sector. The presence of 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's semiconductor and optics innovations are being evaluated under different examination frameworks simultaneously. Practitioners should note that these 2 distinct art units may apply different internal guidelines to the pending applications.
Marcia A. Golub-Miller is identified as the busiest examiner for this portfolio. This examiner is responsible for 1 pending office action, which is 1 of the total 2 pending office actions currently active for the company. Because the workload is split between the 2 distinct examiners, the prosecution strategy does not appear to be concentrated under a single individual's oversight. The 1 pending office action assigned to the busiest examiner indicates a balanced distribution of the company's 2 pending office actions across the available personnel.
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 |
|---|---|
| §112 only | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
