Silicon Works Co., Ltd. has 2 pending office actions in Communications. The matters are assigned to 2 examiners and 2 art units, so each has a distinct prosecution setting.
LEE, NICHOLAS J is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. Matter-specific review is appropriate because the data shows no examiner or unit concentration.
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.
