Rectorseal LLC has 5 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed across 4 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. MICHAEL P MCFADDEN is the busiest examiner for the portfolio with 2 pending office actions. The use of the art units for the 5 pending actions suggests a high degree of technical concentration in the company's current prosecution.
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.
