MediaTek Inc. has 4 pending office actions in Communications. The matters involve 4 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, indicating multiple examiner assignments across a smaller set of technical examination units.
LOUIS-FILS, NICOLE M is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner accounts for the full pending workload. Counsel should coordinate art unit themes while preserving separate response strategies for 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 | 3 (75%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
