2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Clearsign Technologies Corporation is managing 2 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners but are both located within 1 distinct art unit. SHIRSAT, VIVEK K is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action.
This suggests that while the workload is shared between examiners, the technical focus remains concentrated in a single administrative unit. With 2 pending office actions in total, the company prosecution effort is currently small but involves multiple points of contact within that art unit.
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.

| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (100%) |
