Attends Healthcare Products Inc. has 2 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The record identifies 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, so the pending work spans more than one examination channel.
SIMONE, CATHERINE A is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. Counsel should distinguish issues assigned to that examiner from the remaining action and coordinate responses across the identified art units.
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.
