This distribution indicates that the company's current active patent matters are concentrated under one specific examiner and art unit.
The 1 pending office action defines the current scale of the company's prosecution activity. Because the work is localized in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area, the company's efforts are focused on a single technical field. TOD THOMAS VAN ROY, as the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action, handles all active matters for the portfolio. This 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit structure allows the company to avoid the complexity of managing multiple prosecution styles or differing art unit practices across its current 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.
