Astemo Ltd. has 8 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters are assigned across 8 distinct examiners and 8 distinct art units, so each pending matter has a separate examiner and art-unit combination in the reported data.
MUSTAFA, IMRAN K is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner has more than that reported concentration. Practitioners should therefore address each matter independently, using the specific art-unit context and the individual office action rather than relying on a portfolio-wide examiner pattern.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 3 (38%) |
| §103 only | 1 (12%) |
| §102 only | 1 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (38%) |
