Lumi United Technology Co. Ltd. has 3 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. These actions are handled by 3 distinct examiners, yet they are concentrated within 2 distinct art units, suggesting some overlap in the technical classification of the applications. This arrangement indicates that while the technical field is somewhat narrow, the office has assigned multiple reviewers to the company's current filings.
The busiest examiner, CHOI, ALICIA M, is currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Because there are 3 distinct examiners for the 3 pending office actions, the workload is perfectly distributed across the individuals assigned to this portfolio. For a practitioner, this means that every active matter requires a unique relationship with a different examiner, even when 2 distinct art units are involved.
The focus within the Computing & Software technology area suggests a specialized portfolio, but the use of 3 distinct examiners introduces multiple subjective review styles. Since CHOI, ALICIA M only oversees 1 busiest examiner pending office action, there is no central figure to influence the majority of the prosecution. Practitioners must therefore tailor their arguments to three different perspectives while maintaining consistency across the two technical units involved in the 3 pending office actions.
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.

|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (33%) |
| §102 only | 1 (33%) |
