Thingz Inc. has 4 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters are assigned to 4 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. Each pending matter has a separate examiner, while the art-unit assignments show some technical overlap.
HIGGS, STELLA EUN is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The profile does not identify examiner concentration. Counsel should therefore prioritize application-specific claim analysis and use the shared art-unit coverage to identify any technically relevant prosecution themes.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 3 (75%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (25%) |
