Resonac Hard Disk Corporation has 2 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The actions involve 2 examiners and 2 art units, indicating that each pending matter has its own examination assignment.
KENDALL, BENJAMIN R is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The distribution calls for matter-specific prosecution review, particularly because no examiner or art unit accounts for more than the identified share of the active actions.
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.
