Hochiki Corporation has 2 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. Both matters are assigned to 1 examiner and 1 art unit, creating a concentrated examination setting.
TON, TRI T is the busiest examiner and handles both pending matters. Counsel can develop a coordinated prosecution plan based on the common examiner and art unit, while still reviewing each action and claim set independently. Consistency in technical explanations may be especially useful across the two records.
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.
