Shaw Development LLC currently manages 1 pending office action within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This active matter is assigned to WEST, PAUL M, who serves as the busiest examiner for the portfolio. The concentration of the portfolio in 1 distinct art unit suggests a highly focused prosecution strategy.
The workload is handled by a distinct examiner, making this individual the primary point of contact for the company's pending intellectual property. This centralized arrangement means that all current prosecution results depend on the review of a single examiner and art unit. WEST, PAUL M is the sole official managing the company's active docket.
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.
