Open Light Photonics Inc. has 1 pending office action focused in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This workload is distributed across a distinct examiner and a distinct art unit, indicating a narrow and specialized prosecution footprint. The limited number of active matters allows for a focused approach to addressing examiner concerns within this technical domain, ensuring that each claim receives detailed attention during the response phase.
BEDTELYON, JOHN M serves as the busiest examiner, currently overseeing 1 busiest examiner pending action. As this examiner manages the only pending matter for the company, the outcome of this specific case will define the current success rate for the portfolio. This centralized prosecution environment increases the impact of a single examiner's perspective on the company's optics and circuit patents, requiring a precise and well-supported technical argument to overcome any cited prior art.
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.
