UNIVERSITE PARIS CITE has 1 pending office action in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, Joshua Michael Carlson, in 1 distinct art unit. Carlson is the busiest examiner, responsible for the 1 pending action. The university's current prosecution is focused on a single technical review by one examiner. Practitioners should prioritize understanding Carlson's examination style to resolve the 1 pending action. The involvement of only 1 art unit suggests a very specific technical scope for the university's current patent efforts. The outcome of the pending action will determine the immediate success of this semiconductor-focused filing.
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.
