This indicates a specific prosecution focus with the only pending action being reviewed by a single official in one technical group.
Practitioners should note that the concentration of 1 pending office action under 1 distinct examiner allows for a direct line of communication. The specific requirements of the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area will dictate the technical depth needed for the response. Because there is only 1 distinct art unit involved, the examiner likely has a specialized focus on the subject matter. Success in this 1 pending matter will depend on addressing the specific technical concerns of the assigned official. This prosecution profile suggests that the applicant is currently pursuing a targeted intellectual property goal within the semiconductor sector.
