Zurich Instruments AG currently faces 1 pending office action in the Computing & Software technology area. This action is being reviewed by 1 distinct examiner, LAROCQUE, EMILY E, and is placed in 1 distinct art unit. LAROCQUE, EMILY E is the busiest examiner, holding 1 busiest examiner pending action.
The involvement of 1 distinct examiner indicates that the company is not managing multiple examiner perspectives. Since the matter is in 1 distinct art unit, the prosecution is centralized within a single department. The 1 pending office action represents the total current workload for the company's patent filings.
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.
