Shanghai Microstart Photoelectric Technology Co. Ltd. is currently engaged in the patent prosecution process within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The company has 1 pending office action, which suggests a very focused approach to its current intellectual property development. This single matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, ANGEBRANNDT, MARTIN J, who is responsible for the technical review of the application. Having only 1 distinct examiner involved allows the company to develop a consistent and targeted response to any rejections or objections raised during the process.
The prosecution is currently localized within 1 distinct art unit, providing a stable technical and procedural environment for the company's application. ANGEBRANNDT, MARTIN J is also the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 1 busiest examiner pending action currently assigned. This means that the entirety of the company's active prosecution workload is concentrated under this 1 individual. Such a focused arrangement allows the applicant to dedicate their full attention to the specific requirements of this 1 distinct examiner and the 1 distinct art unit involved, potentially streamlining the path to a granted patent.
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.
