1 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 1 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Opton Co. Ltd. currently manages 1 pending office action within the Computing & Software technology area. This case is assigned to 1 distinct art unit, which defines the technical environment for the company's current prosecution. This focused placement suggests that the company's active patent interests are concentrated within a specific software or computing niche.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is KOSSEK, MAGDALENA IZABELLA, who is handling the 1 pending office action. With only 1 distinct examiner involved, the company's current patent efforts are concentrated in a single examination relationship. This allows the applicant to focus its legal arguments on the specific feedback provided by KOSSEK, MAGDALENA IZABELLA without managing requirements from other officials.
Because there is only 1 pending office action, the immediate success of the company's intellectual property strategy depends on the resolution of this 1 matter. The 1 distinct art unit involved ensures that the prosecution remains within a consistent administrative framework. This streamlined approach is typical for a portfolio with a single active case in the computing and software sector.
