Roys Curtis A is currently engaged in the patent prosecution process within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The company's active docket is limited to 1 pending office action, reflecting a highly focused effort at the USPTO. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, which allows for a direct and concentrated dialogue during the review process. This point of contact at the patent office can often lead to a more efficient resolution of the technical and legal issues raised during examination.
The examination is taking place within 1 distinct art unit, ensuring that the technical review is handled by a specific group of specialists in semiconductors and optics. MACCHIAROLO, PETER J is the busiest examiner for the company, currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending action. For practitioners, this profile suggests a straightforward prosecution scenario where the primary objective is to resolve the specific issues raised by the 1 examiner in this specialized technical field. The strategy should focus on meeting the technical requirements of the art unit while addressing the specific feedback from the busiest examiner to move the application toward allowance.
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.
