Nextchip Co., Ltd. has 3 pending office actions in Communications. The matters are assigned to 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, so each reported matter occupies a separate examination path.
CHOWDHURY, NIGAR is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel can manage the responses independently while checking that communications terminology and supporting disclosures remain consistent across the three assignments.
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 only | 1 (33%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
