This concentration in a single art unit ensures that the company's 1 pending office action is evaluated by a specialist in the computing field.
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.
