With only 1 distinct art unit involved, the company faces a consolidated regulatory path. Practitioners can focus on the specific examination styles and precedents relevant to that unit. The presence of 1 distinct examiner means that the company's prosecution strategy does not need to account for varying interpretations across different examiners, focusing instead on the 1 pending office action currently on record.
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.
