Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
1 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 1 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Pebble Square Inc. is currently managing a focused patent portfolio within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The data shows 1 pending office action, which represents the entirety of the company's current active engagement with the patent office. This concentration suggests a highly specific technical focus for the company's current prosecution efforts, likely targeting a core innovation or a narrow range of optical or circuit technologies.
The prosecution activity is limited to 1 distinct art unit, indicating that the intellectual property being sought is confined to a narrow regulatory or technical classification. HIDALGO, FERNANDO N is identified as the busiest examiner for this portfolio. This individual is responsible for the busiest examiner pending count, making them the primary point of contact for the company's pending matters.
For a patent practitioner, this point of contact means that the outcome of the company's current prosecution depends entirely on the interactions with this examiner. The lack of diversity in distinct examiners or art units reflects a streamlined but centralized risk profile. Success in this technology area will require navigating the specific preferences and historical tendencies of the assigned art unit to ensure the pending action reaches a favorable conclusion.
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.
