Glass Imaging Inc. has 2 pending office actions in Communications. The matters involve 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. SPINKS, ANTOINETTE T is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter.
The pending work is divided between two examination settings. Counsel should review each action for its own treatment of communication architecture, signal processing, and functional limitations, while maintaining consistent definitions where the applications share technical concepts.
The busiest examiner is associated with 1 pending matter, so no reviewer concentration is shown. A coordinated portfolio review can organize common disclosure support and technical evidence, but amendments should be selected in response to the particular cited art and reasoning in each matter.
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 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
