With 1 pending matter, the prosecution strategy is entirely focused on a specific point of contact.

The concentration of the current workload into 1 distinct art unit means that all efforts are subject to the examination standards of that particular unit.
Because the portfolio contains a limited number of pending matters, there are no other concurrent applications to leverage for comparison or internal benchmarking. Success in this technology area depends on a precise response to the individual examiner's feedback. The prosecution of this application represents the entirety of the company's current activity with the patent office, making the interaction with the assigned official critical for the portfolio's progress.
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.
