Rainer Reimann is currently addressing 1 pending office action in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This prosecution activity is confined to a distinct examiner and a distinct art unit. The narrow scope of current activity reflects a singular point of contact within the patent office for the company's pending matters. This concentrated focus suggests that the company's current intellectual property efforts are directed toward a specific technical innovation within this sector.
FAIRBANKS, BRENT ALAN is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This individual handles the only active matter currently pending for the company. Because there is a distinct art unit involved, the prosecution is centralized within a specific technical examination group. This singular point of contact simplifies the administrative tracking of the company's patent applications. Practitioners can observe that the workload is not distributed across multiple personnel or administrative divisions at this time.
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.
