Kateeva Inc. has 6 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The portfolio includes 6 distinct examiners across 4 distinct art units, showing examiner-level dispersion with multiple matters placed in some technical groupings.
LEGESSE, HENOK D is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should coordinate docketing across the portfolio while preserving application-specific analysis of semiconductor and circuit claim issues.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (17%) |
| §103 only | 3 (50%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (17%) |
