Airgain, Inc. currently has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. Both actions are assigned to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. This concentration shows that the entire pending workload is managed by 1 examiner within 1 art unit. For the 2 pending office actions, this means that the practitioner only needs to navigate the preferences and technical interpretations of 1 individual at the USPTO.
WU, JAMES is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, handling 2 pending office actions. Because there is only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit involved, the prosecution strategy can be consistent across both cases. This can be an advantage, as a successful argument in 1 of the 2 pending office actions is likely to be equally effective in the other. The lack of multiple distinct examiners or art units simplifies the administrative and technical management of the company's current patent activities.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |

| §103 only | 1 (50%) |
