Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
1 pending office actions • 1 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 1 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Trace Sensing Technologies Inc. currently manages 1 pending office action within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This single action defines the present scope of the company's interaction with the patent office. The focus on semiconductors suggests a portfolio centered on sensor technology or optical systems.
The prosecution is handled by 1 distinct examiner, Larkin, Daniel Sean. This examiner is also identified as the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending action under their review. All activity is confined to 1 distinct art unit, indicating a concentrated technical focus within the broader Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field.
The alignment of 1 examiner and 1 art unit for the 1 pending action suggests a highly specific prosecution path. Practitioners should analyze the specific tendencies of Larkin within this single art unit to anticipate the trajectory of the application. The lack of additional pending actions or examiners simplifies the monitoring process for this portfolio.
Because Larkin, Daniel Sean is the sole reviewer, their individual preferences will be the primary factor in the outcome of the current filing. Legal teams should focus on the specific precedents and examination styles prevalent in the 1 distinct art unit involved. This streamlined structure allows for a very targeted legal strategy.
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.
