The split record requires application-specific issue tracking. Counsel should coordinate the semiconductor and circuit terminology across the portfolio while adapting responses to each examiner’s art-unit setting.
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.
