Kistler Holding AG has 3 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters involve 3 examiners and 3 art units, so the docket is distributed across separate examination channels.
WALSH, RYAN D is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should assess each record independently while maintaining consistent treatment of related technical concepts.
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 (33%) |
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
