Ability Enterprise Co., Ltd. has 2 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters involve 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, with STANFORD, CHRISTOPHER J handling 1 pending matter.
The separate examination paths call for individual responses, supported by consistent technical terminology and claim positions where the applications address related subject matter.
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.
