The presence of 2 distinct art units suggests that the company must navigate different procedural nuances. With 2 pending office actions total, the prosecution activity remains focused. Practitioners should note the specific involvement of ALI, SHAWKAT M, who handles 1 pending action.

The 1 pending action assigned to the busiest examiner represents a portion of the company's active cases.
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.
