The current prosecution activity is concentrated in a single distinct art unit. With only 1 pending office action and a unique distinct examiner, the company's entire pending workload is focused under a single individual in one specific specialized group 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.
