École De Technologie Supérieure has 1 pending office action in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This single matter is assigned to a distinct examiner and a distinct art unit. The institution's current prosecution activity is focused on this one pending action, which constitutes its entire active workload before the office. This narrow focus indicates that the institution's immediate semiconductor-related patenting efforts are concentrated in a single application, making the outcome of this 1 pending office action the primary indicator of its current success.
ROSENAU, DEREK JOHN is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. This individual is responsible for the active prosecution currently active for the institution. The involvement of a distinct art unit suggests that the pending application is being reviewed within a specific technical niche of the semiconductors and optics field. Since there is only a single distinct examiner for the 1 pending office action, the institution's prosecution strategy must be tailored specifically to the examination style and technical requirements of this official.
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.
