Pass & Seymour Inc. has 4 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters are distributed among 4 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, showing a docket that is examiner-diverse with some art-unit overlap.
YESHAW, ESAYAS G is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The identified examiner handles only part of the docket, so the prosecution profile calls for separate monitoring of the other examiner matters. Shared art-unit assignments may provide a useful basis for coordinating technical explanations.
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 | 2 (50%) |
| §102 only | 1 (25%) |
