Rogers Germany GmbH has 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 3 actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, meaning each matter is being reviewed by a different individual. The prosecution is also spread across 3 distinct art units, suggesting a variety of technical focuses within the company's semiconductor filings. MUIR, MATTHEW SINCLAIR is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with a pending office action currently assigned.
For practitioners, this means there is no central examiner to focus on; instead, three separate prosecution strategies must be maintained. The involvement of 3 distinct art units further indicates that each of the 3 pending office actions will be subject to the specific procedural and technical standards of a different unit within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field. This perfectly even distribution across examiners and art units suggests a diversified intellectual property strategy where each of the 3 pending office actions must be managed as a unique case with its own set of requirements.
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.
