7 pending office actions • 2 art units • 5 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
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.

|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (14%) |
| §103 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (71%) |
