Avegant Corp. is currently managing 2 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These actions are distributed between 2 distinct examiners, meaning each case has its own reviewer. The prosecution is occurring across distinct art units, which indicates that the cases involve different technical sub-specialties within the Communications field. This balance of examiners and art units defines the current prosecution landscape for the firm.
XIAO, KE is identified as the busiest examiner, with 1 busiest examiner pending action currently assigned. Since there are 2 distinct examiners, the workload is evenly split between the reviewers. The involvement of the distinct art units suggests that the company's intellectual property strategy covers multiple technical areas, requiring interaction with different examination groups. This distribution allows for separate review paths across the pending office actions under the guidance of XIAO, KE.
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.
