Perfo Tec B V manages a company patent portfolio in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The prosecution data highlights 1 pending office action currently being processed by the USPTO. This matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, THAKUR, VIREN A, who is the only examiner listed for the company. The portfolio is situated within a distinct art unit, suggesting a specific technical focus for the perforation technology filings. THAKUR, VIREN A is the busiest examiner, responsible for the busiest examiner pending action.
Practitioners should recognize that having 1 pending office action in a distinct art unit allows for a highly specialized prosecution strategy. Because the workload is not distributed, the company can tailor its responses to the specific preferences of THAKUR, VIREN A. This concentration within the Chemistry & Materials sector indicates that the current intellectual property efforts are focused on a specific technical path. The presence of the busiest examiner pending action confirms that the entire prosecution effort is managed by the identified examiner.
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.
