Globe Fuel Cell Systems GmbH has 2 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters involve 2 examiners and 2 art units, so the pending work is divided between separate examination assignments.
MEHARI, YEMANE is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should coordinate the technical record across both matters while addressing each examiner's treatment of the claims 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.
