NuScale Power LLC has 3 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters are assigned to 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, so each listed matter follows a separate examination path.
STERLING, AMY JO is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should focus on matter-specific claim and prior-art analysis while maintaining consistent technical terminology across the applications.
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.

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