Essai Inc. currently has 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. Each of these 3 actions is located in a different art unit, totaling 3 distinct art units. The matters are assigned to 3 distinct examiners, with FULLER, RODNEY EVAN handling 1 pending office action as the busiest examiner. This distribution across 3 distinct art units suggests a varied technical scope for the portfolio.
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%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
