Asm America Inc. currently has 1 pending office action in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and a distinct art unit. MACARTHUR, SYLVIA is the busiest examiner for the company, managing the pending office action. Because there is only the pending office action total, the entire prosecution effort for this portfolio is concentrated with this specific examiner.
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.
