This concentrated distribution indicates that the company's current prosecution activity is limited to a single point of contact at the USPTO. With 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit involved, the portfolio's immediate outcomes depend on the evaluation of this individual examiner within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector.
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.
