Pizzato Elettrica S R L currently has 4 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are handled by 4 distinct examiners across 3 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that while the examiners are all different, there is some concentration of the company's technology within 3 specific units of the patent office.
CAROC, LHEIREN MAE ANGLO is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently managing 1 pending office action. Because 4 different examiners are involved in the actions, the company must manage 4 unique sets of examiner preferences. However, the fact that these actions are grouped into 3 art units suggests that at least some of the pending matters share similar technological classifications. Practitioners should look for commonalities in the prior art cited across the 3 art units to inform a more cohesive prosecution strategy.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
| §102 only | 1 (25%) |
| §112 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
