Silith Technology Pte. Ltd. currently manages 2 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These 2 actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units. This means that each of the 2 pending office actions is being reviewed in a different technical environment by a different person in a different technical group at the patent office.
The busiest examiner for the company is SANCHEZ, DIBSON J, who is responsible for 1 pending action. Because there are 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units for only 2 pending office actions, the workload is completely decentralized. Practitioners should prepare for two different sets of examiner expectations and art unit standards when addressing these 2 pending office actions. The lack of overlap between the 2 distinct examiners or the 2 distinct art units means that each case requires a unique prosecution strategy. Success with SANCHEZ, DIBSON J will not necessarily provide a roadmap for the other pending case, necessitating a versatile approach to these 2 distinct actions within the communications sector.
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.
