GKN Automotive Limited has 5 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters involve 5 examiners and 5 art units, with each matter assigned through a distinct examination path.
TAYLOR II, JAMES JOSEPH is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should use individualized prosecution planning and monitor each assignment independently.
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.
