Servomex Group Limited is currently handling 2 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are assigned to 2 distinct examiners but are contained within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that while the technology is focused enough to stay in one art unit, different examiners are reviewing the applications.
FABIAN JR, ROBERTO is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action. The prosecution strategy must account for the individual styles of 2 distinct examiners within the same technical group. Having multiple examiners in 1 distinct art unit can lead to varied feedback on similar technological concepts. Practitioners should monitor both cases to ensure that arguments made to one official do not conflict with those made to the other. This structure requires a coordinated approach to maintain a consistent patent narrative across the portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
