Universidad Simón Bolívar has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners. The portfolio is distributed across 2 distinct art units. Yazback, Maher is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action. This distribution requires the company to manage separate examiner relationships while navigating different technical standards across the 2 distinct art units.
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.
