Universidade Federal De Goiás - Ufg has 1 pending office action within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This activity is confined to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. This suggests a highly specific research or development focus for the university's current patent filings in the optics and circuits field. Because the university is only dealing with 1 distinct art unit, the prosecution process is streamlined within a single technical department.
GASSEN, CHRISTOPHER J is the busiest examiner for the university, managing 1 pending office action. This 1 pending action represents the total count of pending office actions for the portfolio. The presence of 1 distinct examiner for the 1 pending action means that all current prosecution communication is directed through a single examiner. This 1 busiest examiner pending action allows the university to focus its resources on a single set of examiner requirements rather than managing multiple different examination styles.
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.
