Team Conveyer Royalty A LLC has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. Both actions are located within 1 distinct art unit, though they are assigned to 2 distinct examiners. This concentration in 1 distinct art unit suggests a unified technical focus for the company's current semiconductor-related filings. The use of 2 distinct examiners for only 2 pending office actions means that each examiner is reviewing a single application. This structure indicates that while the technical field is narrow, the company is receiving feedback from multiple perspectives.
RAEVIS, ROBERT R is identified as the busiest examiner with 1 pending action, which represents 1 of the company's 2 pending office actions. Since both actions are within 1 distinct art unit, the company may benefit from consistent technical standards even though 2 distinct examiners are involved. Practitioners should focus on the specific examination practices of this 1 distinct art unit while addressing the individual feedback from RAEVIS, ROBERT R and the other assigned examiner. The current portfolio shows a very narrow but split prosecution path that requires coordination across 2 distinct examiners.
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.
