Sigmasense LLC has 5 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters involve 5 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, indicating broad examiner distribution across a smaller technical-unit structure. NGUYEN, KHAI M is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter.
No examiner handles more than 1 pending matter in the available data. The three art units can support coordinated technical review, while separate examiner assignments call for matter-specific response planning.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (20%) |
| Double-patenting only | 4 (80%) |
