3 pending office actions • 2 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Digs Inc. has 3 pending office actions in Computing & Software. The matters are handled by 1 examiner across 2 art units, so the workload is concentrated by examiner but divided by technical assignment.
WATHEN, BRIAN W is the busiest examiner and handles all listed pending matters. Examiner-specific preparation can therefore be centralized, while claim analysis should account for the two art-unit contexts.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
