Flooring Technologies Ltd. has 5 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters involve 5 examiners across 4 art units, indicating broad examiner distribution with limited art-unit overlap.
PYO, KEVIN K is the busiest examiner with 1 pending matter. Counsel should prepare matter-specific responses while maintaining consistent treatment of circuit and optical terminology across the related art-unit assignments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 (20%) |
| §112 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (60%) |
