Elekta Ltd. has 2 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners, PATEL, JAY M and another individual. PATEL, JAY M is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action.
The 2 pending office actions are located in 2 distinct art units. This means each action is being reviewed in a different technical group by a different examiner. With distinct examiners and art units for the actions, the portfolio's current prosecution is decentralized. PATEL, JAY M is responsible for 1 of the total pending actions, showing that no single examiner or art unit dominates the current pending workload.
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.

| §101 only | 1 (50%) |
