Texas Christian University has 1 pending office action currently active in its patent portfolio. This prosecution activity is situated within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area, reflecting a specific technical focus for the institution's intellectual property. The case is being reviewed within 1 distinct art unit.
The pending matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner. JONATHON COOK serves as the busiest examiner for the university, with 1 pending office action under their review. This single examiner manages the entirety of the university's current pending office action workload. Because the portfolio is currently limited to 1 pending action and 1 examiner, the university's immediate patenting goals in the semiconductor space are tied to this single prosecution thread. This requires a highly targeted approach to the specific requirements and preferences of Jonathon Cook within the assigned 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.
