With only a single pending action, the company's prosecution efforts are highly centralized.

This localized activity suggests a targeted intellectual property strategy with a single point of contact at the USPTO.
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.
