WAGO Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH manages 15 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are distributed across 5 distinct art units, showing a relatively concentrated technical focus for the pending applications. The prosecution involves 14 distinct examiners, indicating that almost every pending action is handled by a different individual. The busiest examiner for the company is FIGUEROA, FELIX O, who is responsible for 2 pending office actions.
This workload of 2 actions is a small component of the 15 total pending actions currently active. The involvement of 14 distinct examiners across only 5 distinct art units suggests that while the technical areas are focused, the personnel assignments at the patent office are diverse. Managing 15 pending office actions requires the company to navigate the specific requirements of the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field across these various examiners. The concentration of 2 actions with one examiner is the only instance of multiple pending matters being assigned to the same person. With 15 pending actions, the company interacts with 14 different 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (7%) |
| §103 only | 3 (21%) |
| §102 only | 1 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (64%) |
