RIGAKU Corporation has 2 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters are assigned to 2 examiners and 2 art units, indicating distinct examination paths within the portfolio.
FORRISTALL, JOSHUA L is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Prosecution planning should address that matter on its own record and separately manage the other examiner assignment.
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.
