Pyrowave Inc. has 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions involve 3 distinct examiners, meaning each pending matter is being reviewed by a different individual. This high ratio of examiners to actions indicates a lack of examiner-level concentration in the current prosecution phase.
The portfolio spans 2 distinct art units, showing some technical concentration despite the variety of examiners. BOYKIN, TERRESSA M is the busiest examiner with 1 busiest examiner pending action, which is 1 of the 3 total actions currently pending. For practitioners, this means that the 3 pending actions are spread across multiple administrative units and individual reviewers, requiring a broader management approach. The use of 3 distinct examiners for only 3 pending office actions ensures that no single examiner has an outsized influence on the portfolio's current progress.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
