Lumafield Inc. has 3 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters are handled by 3 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units, showing examiner-level dispersion within a narrower art-unit footprint.
FAYE, MAMADOU is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel can use the art-unit grouping to look for shared prosecution themes while keeping response strategy specific to each examiner.
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 (33%) |
