Tsp Xr has 3 pending office actions in Communications. Those matters are distributed among 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, indicating that each listed matter has a separate examination assignment.
RENZE, GEORGE NICHOLAS is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. Counsel should therefore track prosecution separately by examiner and art unit rather than assume that one response approach will address the full portfolio.
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 | 2 (67%) |
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
