Tae Life Sciences LLC has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners. Both of these pending matters are located within 1 distinct art unit. This concentration suggests a very specific technical focus for the company's current applications, even though they are being reviewed by different individuals.
BURKETT, DANIEL JOHN is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 busiest examiner pending action. Since there are 2 pending office actions and 2 distinct examiners, the workload is split evenly between them. Each examiner manages 1 of the 2 pending actions, providing a balanced approach to the company's current prosecution within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector.
The use of 1 distinct art unit for all pending actions may allow for a more unified prosecution strategy across the company's current filings. Practitioners should also evaluate the 2 distinct examiners to see if their individual examination styles differ despite being in the same art unit.
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.
