Quantum Technologies Ug (Haftungsbeschränkt) is active in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The company currently has 2 pending office actions, which are distributed across 2 distinct art units. This distribution suggests that the company's intellectual property is being reviewed by different specialized sections of the USPTO. Managing these pending office actions in separate art units requires a strategy that can adapt to different technical requirements.
The prosecution involves the distinct examiners listed in the data, including LIN, ARIC. This individual is the busiest examiner for the company and has a busiest examiner pending count of 1. This busiest examiner pending count of 1 shows that the workload is divided among the 2 distinct examiners involved in the company's prosecution. Each examiner is responsible for a portion of the total pending office actions, requiring the company to maintain multiple lines of communication.
With multiple examiners and art units, the portfolio's current activity is not concentrated under a single official. Practitioners must tailor their responses to the specific feedback of LIN, ARIC and the other assigned examiner. The Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics focus remains the common thread across the pending office actions currently facing the company.
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.
