Affin AS has 2 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 2 examiners within 1 art unit. COMINO, EVA L is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter.
The single art-unit setting may provide a common technical and procedural context, while the separate examiners still call for distinct review of objections and interview opportunities. No examiner concentration is shown because the busiest-examiner figure is 1 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.
