Giga-byte Technology Co.,ltd. has 5 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These 5 actions are distributed among 5 distinct examiners, meaning each matter is handled by a different person. SHANMUGASUNDARAM, KANNAN is identified as the busiest examiner, though he is responsible for only 1 pending office action.
The 5 pending office actions are spread across 4 distinct art units, indicating a diverse range of technical focuses within the computing and software sectors. Despite the involvement of 5 distinct examiners, the distribution across 4 distinct art units suggests that the company's innovations are being evaluated by several different specialized USPTO divisions.
For practitioners, the presence of 5 distinct examiners across 4 distinct art units means that each of the 5 pending office actions will be subject to an independent review. The portfolio's 5 pending office actions are evenly split, with the busiest examiner, SHANMUGASUNDARAM, KANNAN, handling 1 action, just like the other 4 distinct examiners.
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 (20%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (20%) |
| §103 only | 2 (40%) |
